For some bean counting reason Jeep didnt add a drain plug to the front of my D44. Anybody ever just drill and tap a their cover to make life easier? And no Im dont going to drill my housing for a drain plug.
Drove it hundred miles today check engine light went out. No problems. Used cruise on the way back. Worked fine
Forgot to mention It showed Electronic throttle control and EOBD/INJECTION SYSTEM FAILURE.
So the first time it happened was about 7k miles ago on a camping trip. I was about 3 hrs from home almost at the Oregon border using cruise control and all of a sudden the engine almost went to limp mode. Check engine light comes on, the electronic stabliity control light comes on, and then my...
Well if you had gotten a diesel you could have better mileage.... just saying. Most JTRDs are getting 23-27 mpg depending on where we live, how we drive and mods. Most gassers are in the teens depending on where they live, how they drive, and mods.
Pretty much the best thing you can have a FJ40 with FI on 38s. Located in SF Bay Area

Yea i tried mine, but they were too large.........thats what she said so I ended up using picks and 2 flat heads and channel locks and i still managed to break off an edge of the filler neck. O well. Its off and the stupid flap is off. Hopefully the super glue holds otherwise its gorilla glue.
I had Gupton do my lift and 37s when I bought it so I could have the warranty. Was worth it back in 21. If the prices are 4k I dont think I would do it again for that price. But for the 1700 that I pad for it installed I would do it again in a heart beat!
How much would new 35s cost? 1000 is pretty cheap these days for tires. I dont think you need to regear I see 8th all the time Im at 23mpg. You can see my build and travels in the links in my sig.
I think if you are trying to sell it then you might be able to get a bit more money with 37s than...
Ive had no problems with my Fox shocks either. And its been on the Rubicon, Moab, Windrock and a few others. I have Bilsteins before on my z71 and they were pretty good as well. I like having a different option the remote resi looks nice.
You doing it for looks? For a daily no way I would do 37s. MPGs will be worse you have to hike up into it, more money for the tires etc... Now with that being said I have 37s and a Mopar lift.... but I dont DD it. Just my .02
