My experience with the tazer in general was it worked 95% of the time. I'd rather have shit be annoying consistently than surprising me sometimes. I really am not a fan of software injected into the chain of the vehicle system. Installed an autostartstop module in line with the harness so the...

Has there been any update on replacing the turbo without a cab off? I saw somebody mention it somewhere but as far as I know it's still a cab-off operation. Seems so silly given how close it is when you have the fender off

Fantastic info. Thanks for the work.

You laid out the options pretty well, sort of up to you. I do want to point out that with the wheels cut the spacers/offset wheels push the wheels out perpendicular to the wheels. I know that seems obvious, but it can sometimes cause issues in other places like the back of the wheel well. Just...

Surely that would present itself as a permanent code, no?

This is what happens when I comment in the middle of the night. I didn't realize pooaf was supposed to be the engine code. I replied then went back to the thread and said "Well then wtf does pooaf mean?"

A TJ is both the worst vehicle I've ever driven in the snow and the best. If you're cool with going sideways and shift locking and dumping the clutch it's really easy to point exactly where you want, and it's going to go there. But that's not something most people have any interest in doing...

My first two vehicles when I was a teenager were sporty cars. I spent my weekends doing autocross and running the quarter mile at the drag strip. I was a dumb kid, but not in the sense of understanding the physics of the car or lacking decent ability. I had no self preservation. I drove the shit...

I run Hutchinsons on my TJ. Absolutely love the wheels, I've gone through a few sets of tires on them now and they're so easy to work with. Had them for maybe 10 years now. After sheering another valve stem on my Saltas on the Gladiator I've been casually looking at beadlocks as well and I...

Everybody loves to remember the time they got the best mpg. There are a lot of factors people ignore that make the conversation about numbers almost pointless. I did a lot of calculating mpg on a 5500 mile trip a couple weeks ago. On one tank westbound on flat ground I got 19 mpg at 75 mph on...

I was under the impression oil temps need to get into the 260s before it'll trigger a derate. I've never experienced one myself but I can tell you I saw as high as 250 for short periods on steep grades on my last trip, and that'd usually be with sustained EGTs creeping up on 1400. That's when...

I don't know what your build is at the moment but I used my Artec engine skid, both RockHard rock rails to the point of bending the left one, bashed the Artec comp cut high rear bumper multiple times, drug down the extent of both sides of the frame, both diff covers, smacked the tie rod, sheered...

5,000 miles in the last two weeks on 40s 4.88s loaded at 7700 lbs. Through mountains, plains, 11k+ ft, 20°, 105°, Rubicon Trail... Deleted. Feels perfect to me. 19-24 mpg at 75 depending on wind. EGTs rarely above 1300 on the steepest climbs. Holds 8th most of the time. Never has to drop below...

It's pretty much the one I own. If I knew the diesel had a better track record I'd feel better about it but I've actually seen very few issues in this gen motor vs the last. I write this as we're cruising east through Colorado at 75 mph getting 22.5 mpg on 40s after running the Rubicon and...

Rubicon Trail.

About 24 hours of driving in two days. Knocked out a badge trail along the way. Averaging 19-20 mpg at 75 mph, depending on the wind. Running 34 psi front 36 psi rear, once warm. We'll see the Pacific by end of day tomorrow with some stops along the way. Fully loaded for a two week trip, see...

Yeah I was expecting 6800ish, not 7500. That's with 50L of water, full fuel tank, full drawer including spare axle shafts and a lot of tools, and both of us in the vehicle. Fully loaded over the road weight for a two week trip.
