I have run both JK savegres and now JK saltas. They fit just fine. But check the poke as far as your liking. A JK offset with a 315 is going to poke a bit. I'm running a 285 width and think it's perfect. Just something to consider as far as your personal preference
I think mine (2 times) was less-than-great 87 gas. Pulled over, shut off, waited, cranked, back on the highway and same cyclical surging. Filled up with premium BP at next stop and ran normal instantly. Same thing happened a few months after and realized i filled up at a "random" station. Better...
Right - see edit. Don't touch yours if you don't have a dead spot. You don't want to over-tighten it.
But just because it's a steel box doesn't mean it's tight. Mine wasn't. My buddy's '22 isn't. It's not "pointless" for a '22. It's relevant for anyone with a steel steering box that has play
No, an aluminum one just happens to be in the video. I have a steel (black) steering box and the adjustment made a huge difference. Zero dead spot now, and had one before.
But wanted to add that if somehow your box came adjusted tight, don't change it and over-tighten it. But i could move my...
I only have experience with the falcons, so can't directly compare with bilstein. Although AEV uses bilstein and they obviously know a thing or two about jeeps.
But the falcons set on "soft" are notably stiffer than oem and are a huge improvement in ride control.
I think the takeaway is that...
If the ride is too soft, a shock upgrade will transform the jeep. Most of the oem shocks are too soft relative to the spring stiffness, so you get this floaty and bouncy feel as the springs overpower the shocks. I would recommend Falcon, Fox, Bilstein, etc shock upgrade that will be a little...
Same here - my passenger seat has wear, but my driver seat looks brand new because i use the grab handle to get in and out every time
So you get to pick - left bicep bigger than right, or mushy seat edge ?
Cool pics! I was just up there a couple weekends ago too. It's a little "bushy" through the red section i recorded, and more open (and more fun IMO) through the northern purple section up to the red "loop." Nice little climb at the eastern side of the red loop. Stock 4x4 friendly.
How did the...
Just a couple from Big Levels 4x4 trail near Wintergreen, VA. A little tight in some places but a nice easy-medium trail to stretch the gladiator's legs a bit!
This is along the lines of my own thinking. I'm not convinced that the pentastar is designed to do much more than it does N/A.
Coming from nitrous LS1 and LS2 oem GM V8's. You could tune a 125 or 150 shot and the engine handle it reliably"forever." Some engines have a lot more in them. Some don't.
Adjusted the steering box 1/8 turn (45 degrees) and man what a difference. Pretty much eliminated the dead spot in the steering wheel. I used a hex driver and a couple wrenches end-to-end and was able to separate the nut from the shaft without heat, luckily. Highly recommend this mod. In the...
