  1. 5.13 with 33's

    You'll certainly be aggressive with that combo. The MT NEEDS some serious gearing. Far more so than the AT. Most folks run 4.88s with the 6MT/35s combo. I bought 5.13s for my 6MT/35 truck (not yet installed), and that's also being quite aggressive. You'd be taking it a step beyond even...
  2. Jeep Gladiator Gets Record $20K Discount Off MSRP Amid Sales Slump

    If you can afford to give a $20k "Discount", just say out loud that you've been ripping your prior customers off for $20k+.
  3. Clutch Recall (2/23/23): Clutch Pressure Plate May Overheat -- Affecting 70,000 Manual Jeep Wranglers and Gladiators

    Its not a bad design. It's just a pressure plate that is prone to fracture and failure when used as designed under perfectly normal conditions. Nothing wrong with that design at all. No responsibility on us, whatsoever. -Stellantis, probably
  4. Strike has begun

    IMO, this has been needing to happen for awhile now; call it our Fourth Turning. Medicare/Medicaid is a pyramid scheme that is failing due to population decline. Same with SS. I'm convinced that's why the retards in charge are so hung up on open borders; they need the tax revenue (and...
  5. Strike has begun

    Love that guy. Watch his vids everyday and keep meaning to pick up his books.
  6. Xtreme Recon Fender Extension Instsalled

    Does anybody else make full wrap flares besides those ridiculously overpriced DBOR's? I like the Mopars, but the fact that they stop halfway in the back would drive me nuts. And $850 for the DBOR is just silly.
  7. Re: Gear/Towing Theory

    Nope. I'm looking at 5th because, mathematically, it ends up close to what 4th used to be. I typically tow in 4th with the current 4.10s and try to stay around 65mph. I can't remember where I heard it, but I seem to remember hearing that the majority of One's towing should be in a 1:1 gear...
  8. Re: Gear/Towing Theory

    Like I said, the gears have already been purchased and are waiting for install. But I stumbled upon the final drive numbers while looking at Grimm Jeeper for the 500th time and it sparked this theoretical question in my head. I know the gears will be a drastic improvement and make the...
  9. Re: Gear/Towing Theory

    Basically, I'm wondering if the transmission being in OD will have any effect on the power output at the wheels due to losses in efficiency (or something else I'm not thinking of). If the final drive is exactly the same, will the power to the wheels be exactly the same? The engine will be...
  10. Re: Gear/Towing Theory

    So here's the Sitch: I currently run a 6MT JTR with 35s and the stock 4.10s. I have 5.13s sitting in the garage waiting to go in. I have analyzed GrimmJeeper's calculator in just about every scenario possible. Final Drive with stock 4.10s in 4th gear (1:1) is 4.10 Final Drive with 5.13s in...
  11. How far is your JT making it up this hill?

    I'm a bit on the fence when it comes to labeling them experts. Granted, they spend a LOT of time off road, but Matt often goes woefully unprepared IMO; negligently so. Perhaps this is all for views, but I can't help but think that he seems very ill-prepared for something that is his business...
  12. How far is your JT making it up this hill?

    I'm going HP and wheel speed. and paddle tires...
  13. Clutch Recall (2/23/23): Clutch Pressure Plate May Overheat -- Affecting 70,000 Manual Jeep Wranglers and Gladiators

    Oh, I was just being an overtly pseudo-misogynistic troll. Not directed at you, or really even anybody else.
  14. Clutch Recall (2/23/23): Clutch Pressure Plate May Overheat -- Affecting 70,000 Manual Jeep Wranglers and Gladiators

    Let's not ignore the fact that it was a woman driving a manual transmission truck whilst towing. That clutch has lived a rough life. -Bigot, probably
  15. Diff covers with drain plug

    I can't answer your question, but I am just curious. How often are you planning on changing your diff fluid and are you not also curious what the gears look like thereby necessitating pulling the cover anyways? My personal plan is to change my fluid every 20-25k miles, and I'd like to know how...
  16. Rear locker light flashing?

    What is this potting process? Something loamy or something more well-draining?
  17. Tazer tire size recal with 6 speed

    Accurate odometer tracking is why I did it.
  18. Wide vs Narrow Off-Road Tires -- a Scientific Comparison

    I really wish there were more skinny wheel/tire options out there. Same goes for wheels with neutral or positive offsets; damn near everything is a negative offset causing the tires to stick out way further than they need to. If I could get skinny tires tucked up into the fender, in a...
