Delhux....a hug would be great. Yes i was trying to show a point. You're wishes and desires of all this tech and convenience being pushed as what everyone should aspire to felt very rude to me, so to get your attention and maybe open your mind a bit to that we are all different i showed my...

if i could have bought it with an all mechancial 4bt cummins i would have, manual transmission, and dick for options...as it was i tried my best, there's a lot of technological convenience in life as it is, and luckly there are full load auto overlands and rubicons for those who just want more...

Well aren't you just full of money and taking your entire life digital, 1st world plus eh? Well, i guess everyone should just do what you do right? Anyway, there's a lot to be said for simple mechanical reliable things. Especially for important use many times a day items where extreme care and...

It's so common sense that it seems lost to so many. Ah human beings, we sure know how to take something so simple and basic and create so many more headaches and wormholes. I'm with you 100%

quick little update, posted in the axles/gears thread but some solid info to add as i just did two more tanks of fuel (6spd, 4.88's, 37's, speedo gps corrected at 80 mph, hand calculated, falken mt's w/10" tread width on stock sport wheels) "so last night i ran a scope to a small town outside...

so last night i ran a scope to a small town outside my city for some custom work, cruise control at 124 km/h(77 mph) in 6-th gear, and there are some really long deep valleys on this run, the lowest speed i hit was 120 km/h(74.5 mph) on any of them climbing the hills, this sort of thing with a...

On 3.73 i had a 4 speed and was just fine on the street. Mileage was ok too. On highway I couldn’t really use cruise control, once in awhile could get into fifth but any minor hill or headwind would require 4th. Wouldn’t hold cruise control well, was tough to find gear t match highway velocity...

Well, you haven't had to try to turn a tire in 8" of crusted snow yet, or bump your trailer in reverse up onto your parking pad from the curb, or start from a dig on your country friends really steep driveway. All stall or clutch smoking material for my 3.73 on 35/37's...need 4lo to some of the...

i drove the turbo and pentastar back to back in jlu's, went in expecting to love the turbo, came out confirmed on the pentastar, it was more engaging, more linear, more spontaneous response to foot input, and it sounded way better the turbo can really move, but it's got a bit of delay and it's...

JL/JT 18” take offs should buy well and then sell your 17” take offs and should end up even Steven. Just add the nitto 11.5” wide tires either 35’s or 37’s and Robert is your fathers brother.

I'm going to pick up some take off JL (sahara) or JT (overland) 18" factory wheels to run the 37x11.5r18 nitto ridge grapplers next. Sounds like that would fit your goals best. I'm running falken 37x12.5 mt's on stock sport wheels and love it, but like you i feel they are a touch fat for the...

i'm falken mt's 37's on 4.88's i agree, i live about 3800' elevation, i towed for camping recently 3400 lbs of trailer/gear, 380 lbs of me and two kids, 5150 lbs of jeep truck, total 8930 lbs on the scale at destination, 6 days of food/water/fuel on board, i got 11.9 mpg round trip, 6-spd...

and shadowspapa...i believe you now, your numbers match what i've done once with this motor/8-spd in those conditions you drive, i take it on stock wheels also, that's super unrealistic in my part of the world to go that slow or have most of it be non stop and go, it is a really efficient motor...

edit...meant for empty pockets, ya, you gotta do it tank to tank, the computer has pretty rose colored glasses on the bulk count, makes it look wonderful, my last two tanks were about 5% optimistic over real, i've actually monitored what the computer says to what is hand calculated, i have been...

Lmfao... well if someone wants to post a 25/26 at least post your hypermiling driving tactics haha, now we all know for sure

I have over 150,000 kms on pentastar since 2014 now, and my ram 8-spd was incredible on gas for a 5300 lb good aero and stick height and stock skinny 31’s. There was one time I saw a fuel mileage rating about 25 mpg (9.3 l/100km) and that was where the speed limits for the whole region didn’t...

i like to hear that turbo like whistle, are those centrifugals then? procharger/ripped? don't like that whine as much like those dodge hellcats etc.

you crazy offroaders, nice to know what i can do if i ever need, mine will deal with some muddy/snow forestry/lease type hunting situations and animal recoveries, so pretty minor compared to that, was able to test it in deep snow with a mid level crust bone stock on the skinny 31's and couldn't...

un-related, the bdl needs a little drama to engage, ie; wheel spin, stay in it, steady wheel spin on one side will eventually get the brakes applied to that side so the power goes to the other, based on wheel speed differences from each side...the trak-lok will just reduce the amount of wheel...

jeeps brake lock differential bdl is how you did that, it's pretty slick
