If it was really for "shadow ops", I'd want a blackout mode and IR lighting as a factory option. THAT would pique my interest... 😅

I would avoid E but C and D load ratings should be fine. My previous C rated tires were comfortable and D rated a little bit harder however the sidewall durability was important to me, and other less relevant factors played into my choice.

Did you get a ballpark price?

For starters... it needs to prove itself reliable. Already ordered the Trijicon RCR, magwell, optic plate. Weapon light is undecided. Likely a TLR-7 HL-X but I might also do another Surefire X300 Turbo. I usually port all my handguns at Monsoon Tactical and let them do a custom cerakote but...

Picked up a new carry piece today... There's a lot of work ahead before it's ready for the job though.

lol a big meanie. That's an interesting problem to have and wouldn't expect in freezing temps. I saw 265 once on the million dollar highway and pulled off to let it cool down. lol I didn't know that was a known strategy. I just sort of figured it out after so many long painful drives with an...

Oh yeah, even in the desert flats between Reno and Salt Lake City, I see 230 hold steady at just normal cruising speeds and low RPMs. The 3.6 doesn't cope well with what I put it through. I forgot to mention that I would also keep the "trail screen" open on JScan and turn the radiator fan on...

When you start to near 250 degrees (American) coolant temp, it's too hot for my comfort to be downshifting and revving high RPMs. Temps will keep climbing and it will toast that engine if you let it. My 3.6 4 door wrangler, fully loaded for a multi-week adventure is 6460lbs and towing a trailer...

My only problem with automatic while towing is that, while going up-hill it would downshift while my temps were getting too hot for comfort. In some situations, that would cause temps to spike rapidly. I would shift manually because I have the foresight that the ECU doesn't... to see how steep...

I'm sorry to hear, some dogs really are special and seem to be furry little angels. Hoping for the best.

I've done my fair share of tuning, I think the only stock car I ever had was the first car I owned. I still have a tuned and heavily modified twin turbo v8 Audi that's conservatively pushing 600AWHP with the cats back on it. It was pushing a lot more than that, but then I had a baby and life...

When I was still involved in the Audi clubs a few years ago, we would give the "most salty" award annually to whoever did the most complaining in the online group. lol, I don't think anyone that won the award ever showed up to accept it.

I don't know the answer to any of those questions but generally speaking, pushing a motor harder is always going to have some reaction (every action has an equal and opposite reaction). My sample size of 1 supercharged motor (which isn't mine) and 1 non-supercharged motor... I've only blown up...

Yeah but pushing a 3.6 just wouldn't be my personal choice. It's cool and I think you've put a lot of thought into what you intend to do. I'm confident that you'll be happy with the end result. I'd just go for the V8 because the power numbers you're speaking of are baseline without forced...

I know everyone has their own needs and driving factors behind their decisions... but for me at least, I'd just grit my teeth, close my eyes and throw cash at the V8 swap if I needed it. Having more power than I need makes driving characteristics better when I only need half throttle or less to...

The difference between 93 and 91 is generally within adaptable margins for the ECU/ECM if you have a good tune.

My previously mentioned friend with a JKU and Ripp supercharger has been rough on his. He's one of those lead foot cool guy types that makes that supercharger whine constantly. The only major issue he's had is an annoying whistling noise at idle and he can't seem to solve it. That's just an...

Yeah they're very stout with the armor. I watched a bunch of videos of people abusing them without much more than just powder coat rubbing off. That was my deciding factor with whether I'd keep the steps or go to a traditional slider. The steps are awesome though, my wife and son can get into...

Did he have a heavy foot? Usually adding forced induction doesn't effect fuel economy very much, but it does cause people to use their gas pedal more often. lol

The power is nice, can't complain AT ALL about supercharger noises. My buddy had one in a JKU and it never failed on him, only a couple minor things that were annoying but it was reliable. Congrats!
