It started right up. Blew a little blue smoke for a minute or so, but that's just the oil getting into the combustion chamber when it was on its side. He drove it out of there and drove it home. Just a little bit of sheet metal damage, and at 75 years old he was still scared to tell his wife...
In his defense he was probably 75 years old, so reflexes/reaction time weren't as sharp as they once were. He was in a JK Willys with a 6spd manual. I'm pretty sure the Willys was stock. It had just started raining and he was slipping up the hill. Even I was slipping a bit in my JLUR on 39's. He...
Aerodynamics, horsepower, throttle...none of those things will have any appreciable effect on your RPM in a specific gear at a specific MPH unless maybe your torque converter unlocks or slips when you give it more throttle. But aside from that fringe case, your RPM is simply determined by your...
I'm still on the fence about coming Sunday. NC snow tends to melt a couple hours after it falls, so I plan to have as much fun as I can driving in the snow before it melts. The new front driveshaft for the truck is supposed to get here Friday, so I'm hoping to install it Saturday so I can test...
Your kids will get used to getting into it. I bought mine in February. They struggled to get in it when it was stock but they got used to it. Then I put a 2" lift and 37's, and they struggled again but figured it out. Now I'm on a 3.5" lift and 39's, and they struggled at first but now they're...
Just to clarify, is this a flash tune or a piggyback? And will it be available for 2021's? Superchips has a flash tune but it's not available for 2021's yet.
I have this same exact issue with my JB4. It's interesting that you have a 2021 and so do I. There's something different about the 21's, but I'm not sure exactly what it is. I originally wanted the Superchips flash tune but they still haven't released it for the 21's. They have it for the...
Yes, thatâs correct. I think the overlook is technically about 2-3 miles from the Tennessee line, but if you follow the forest road from one end to the other youâll either start or end in TN.
Thereâs a lot more low end torque with the 2.0 vs. the 3.6. Not sure why they donât offer the 2.0 with the XR package, maybe they feel like the extra torque along with the lower gearing is gonna be harder on the drivetrain?
I would opt for the 2.0 instead of the XR package. You can easily run up to 37's with a 2.0 without regearing. I ran 35's and then 37's on mine and never regeared. I also ran 39's for a couple months before I regeared. The 39's were a little bit of a struggle, but still driveable. I now have...
Hurricane Creek Ride
I was in Asheville for work this week and decided to hit Hurricane Creek. I bought a drone a few weeks ago so I used it to shoot some footage.
The 1:02 mark shows a good comparison of lockers vs. open/BLD diffs. I got hung up in a rut with the diffs open. I possibly could...
