I think a lot of us miss the mark on the 8th gear. It’s a Second Overdrive. There’s a lot of factors involved in when and why it comes out of 8th. If your geared to stay in 8th going up a hill, your deleting the overdrives. No big deal if that’s what you want but my JTR is more of a mall crawler than my JKR. I Like that it stays in 8th on flats and mild hills for gas mileage but drops to 7/6 on a steep hill, heck with 35’s she’d drop to 5th. I’m certain at some point I’ll re-gear but I’m happier with 4.10’s and 37’s than I was with 35’s. That said, I do Plan on cylinder pressurization in the future but doubt financially it will ever happen. A little more tq would be a complete game changer but I knew what to expect going into the JTR.
