35s and 4.88 would be overkill and your 1st gear shift would be instant IMO. I already start out in 2nd unless I’m at a completely dead stop. Only reason to go 4.88 is if you’re already thinking 37’s. Even then, you can still wheel with 4.56’s and 37s.

I’ve been considering these seat covers vs the PRP’s. Just wondering what is the material of the covers? I know their website says polyester, but anything comparable on what they feel like?

Correct, Matte Black

Oracle Oculus 9” Bi-LED Headlights for JL / JT. Super sharp cutoff. Includes wiring to hook up the halo ring. These are plug and play, no need for a reflash. $400 Shipped. Selling because I want something more stock looking. Used for about 4 months. I am open to trade offers for ONLY the...

Yes they have different splines. You must get a t-case from the correct transmission

I was reading through this thinking I knew exactly what he was talking about. I’m glad my family had other plans for me that day. On a side note if either of you decide to hit up Crawl 4 the Cure this July hit me up. It’s a great event.

I have Engine, transmission, and gas aluminum skid plates from M.O.R.E. (https://mountainoffroad.com). I went with them for two reasons: 1. It’s less weight and 2. It’s made in America. Yes they are not cheap but they do 20% off sales about every holiday so I’d just wait until then and get it...

If you’re going to do any kind of major upgrade (t-case, gears, axles) you really can’t think about return value. You have to consider “now” value. I’ve accepted that there’s no way in hell my Jeep is returning back to stock, or at least not on my dime. I’ve been selling off the stock stuff at...

When I was out wheeling with a large group in July I was hearing the same stuff. It was pretty hot a few days and many people were watching those trans temps. As many others have said on here the “put it in a gear and let it crawl” factor of the manual with this 4:1 transfer case is amazing. I...

Well said and straight on. ^That is me 100%. At this point, and I’m sure you’re the same way, I’ve put too much into my non-rubicon to go back. It’s also pride in building. Cheers!

7” Uconnect radio, bezel, and unlock code. Selling because I upgraded to something larger. No scratches on screen. Works great. $425 shipped.

Agreed. If you’re running 35’s, 6-speed manual, and the stock 3.45 gears I’d HIGHLY recommend regearing. I personally went to 4.56 and it now drives like stock. I regeared when I was running 33’s because it was so bad. I couldn’t imagine running 35’s on 3.45.

I’d remove the transfer case skid plate, cross members, everything holding it up. That will help out. You’ll have to brace the transfer case but it should make disconnecting everything better. You’ll also want a healthy choice of socket extensions and swivel sockets. You’ll want two people to...

I finally got my rubicon transfer case installed. It was a bit more work then others I had mentioned in different threads. Also the place I ordered it from sent the wrong one, but they were wonderful to work with and sent me the correct one. Overall time to install I’d say in the 8~hour range...

I’m going back in that area today. I just updated the map and I see the pipeline road aka 55552 is now limited to 65” wide vehicles. 😕 Well it was fun the one time I went on that trail. I was really looking forward to this now that I’m on 35s. Guess I’ll explore the area some more and see what...

Q: Would I need different driveshafts w/ the Rubicon case? A: No Q: I think the 8AT needs a specific T-case as well as a 2dr, but not sure??? A: T-case has to be transmission specific but not door specific. You’ll need to get a rubicon transfer case for an automatic. There is a different one...

Found it off car-part.com. Ended up getting it from Tri-State salvage. They said it’s new but it was clearly taken out of something. When I called to ask about it the guy said it was from someone who did a Hemi swap right away. I will say it looks brand new outside of some grease on the input...

I’m also sitting on a rubicon t-case that I plan on installing here in the next week or two. Anyone know the torque specs on these different bolts? Edit: Google is your friend. https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/torque-values-for-jeep-jl-wrangler.17791/page-2#post-518107

Ahhh.. Yeah. That case I’d get 4.88’s. You might lose some top-end speed but it’s a jeep.. not a race car. Best of luck. If you have any more questions feel free to DM me. I’m not on the board often but will respond to DM’s. Pic of my setup for reference

I have your same setup (30/44 combo, 6-speed). Trust me, regearing brings your jeep back to life. I’m running 4.56’s with 35’s. It’s like driving a stock jeep again. Other added weight is factory steel rear bumper, LoD mid-width front bumper, winch, MORE aluminum skid plates. 4.88’s might be a...
