I Will say that overall my handling has improved over stock though.

Its honestly a bit hard to tell for me, as we had the whole suspension and steering built at once, so its a bit difficult to see what good changes came from where… wish I could be more help, sorry!

I used AEV procal. Not as flashy as the others, but did the job of recalibrating for my 37’s. Plus my local shop had one in stock, so it was easy, haha.

I agree completely, I’ve always been satisfied with Metalcloak parts. I would have called them already, but we left on a month long backcountry road trip two days after we installed it! Probably should create a road trip thread if I have the time…

I have been meaning to update this thread: Had a reputable local shop in town install this brace. Unfortunately, it caused a bad creaking sound from the 11-1 position of steering, and kept the steering wheel from returning to center. The shop that installed it adjusted it twice before we...

We’ll look at that, you learn something new every day. Thanks!

i think he’s referring to the background of the eagle like thing showing its talons.

That has not been my experience. Emails to RSI have either been ignored or given answers similar to what’s been given here, aka no real timelines. if you have been able to get an answer, feel free to share.

@OffroadAlliance.com , my local dealer tells me that the US factory opening has been delayed and won’t open anytime soon? Is that not true or..?

Look forward to you reporting back ??

With +/- 24 mpg, you must be in a pretty flat area, yeah? Its hilly where I am at, I’d be surprised if I was able to recover that much regearing. If so, sign me up.

Bingo

Damn 80?? With the amount of hwy patrol I saw I don’t know if I’d risk that haha. Thanks for the tip though!

see I want to go 4.10s, but I’m afraid I’ll spend all that money and end up wanting more. How’s your mpg with the 4.10’s?

I just did a road trip from portland, OR to Southern California by way of hwy 395. Carrying two people weighing 230 each, an ikamper 3.0, bed rack, winch, and our clothes and a cooler for a month long road trip. So a bit of extra weight, but not a ton. 3.5 inch lift and 37’s, speedometer...

bringing this thread back from the dead, as now I have my 3.5 in lift and 37s on. Picked one of the lighter wheel and tire combos I could get. I’m on my first road trip on these tires, and I’m not all too impressed. As a stock JTRD I was getting 23-26 mpg Highway depending on how hard I drove...

Just an update: I’ve been driving my newly built rig now for 3 days on 37’s with a -25 offset, and it is buttery smooth with zero issues. So people can stop the offset rants now haha

I’m going to start a build thread on here soon, but I’m too excited to not share my freshly lifted JTRD!

Yessir, back when I had my ‘88 YJ I got a flat on a 33” mud tire. Ran over a damn pair of scissors of all things…

If only I had thought of that! Would have been done twice as fast! ?
