How does one determine the mood of a fish?

I noticed that all they show in stock are turbos. I find that interesting. My former Jeep was a turbo.
It looks like they're coming in specific batches. The last batch was several RHDs with heated seats, now it seems this batch is 2 door Willys with 2.0s. lol

Y'all ever work with\around someone who makes you question how nobody has hit him in the dick with a jellyfish yet??
I work with (other) engineers. I have that thought every day. And I'm pretty sure others have thought that about me from time to time...

The ICE to EV conversion will be a lot worse.
My EV will be a bike.

The auto has many advantages and my knees are not getting younger. Still good, but I do see a time when an auto may have been the better choice. Plus I'm finding my finesse to be questionable as I hit harder obstacles or maneuvering the trailer up the damn driveway. Freaking reverse is geared to run down the highway. WTF?

Who reverses at 6500 RPM?

Yes, this will solve the most frustrating part of setting back up for on road driving after a trail... Getting those connecting links to line up so I can get the bolt through! I usually have someone stand on the side rail and shake the jeep, lol.

It's just much to tall for a reverse gear. Terrible, but even worse when you need to move a trailer up an incline.
Hate to break it to you, but reverse on the Auto is higher than on the manual... I can technically hit 53 MPH in reverse.

Monica is also waiting!!! I think she would gladly get rid of her TJ and Miata to get one.

Well damn.

:facepalm:


My current tact is to put it in 4 low to maneuver up the driveway. Leaves a bit of tire marks though. :CWL:

I'm researching on the Gearing Calculator spreadsheet. Just to verify, you're on 35s and 4.88s?
