What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

[dshark1]

Yes I will.
I went through two sets of MickeyThompson 35” ATZ P3 tires on my JKU so I have something of relatively close quality to compare them to. I expect they will be outstanding just like the ATZ P3 were.

I can say they are quieter “new” at frwy speeds and look beefier. They do not look like A/T tires but more like hybrid AT/MT tires.

Please let me know pros/cons vs K02”s. Just too note, being in Florida I tackle lots of rain…. Thx.

Look what came from my mailman this morning?!?!?!?!?

opened and installed! In one of the pics you can see my DoubleTake mirrors compared to the new CMM.

 

[GATORB8]

Picked her up yesterday evening (finally!).

So far:
Rugged Ridge HD front, Mopar grab handles, Superwinch SX10000SR, Cravenspeed stubby antenna, pulled the hard top.
Still to go this weekend, 2” frankenlift, RR HD Rear, soft top install.
Tires and rims supposed to be in Tuesday.

What cowl mounting bracket is that?

Baja Designs, they have a single and double light. I liked the small footprint. Some of the cowl mounts look like you could mount a .50 cal machine gun on them

What tune did you go with? Need more details!!

im using Dave’s tune, not the factory magnuson one. It isnt like a rocket ship/muscle car transformation or anything, but it certainly does scoot.

what you looking for?

Finally swapped out the hard top for the soft top on the 4xe.

 

[WyoTex]

Ordered XD 137 wheels, and Rancho 3.5 inch lift, trying to decide on tires, 35 vs 37 and Cooper SST Pro vs BFG KM3 or Hankook mud tire

How long did the install take? How is the engine handling the boost and what parameters are you monitoring? Any concerns for longevity? I have been wanting to do this but worried it would cook the engine.

 

[MikeJLURubi]

How was install? Mine just arrived but with trailer hitch and bumper removal I’m hesitating because time.

I installed mine without removing the bumper. Just a thought

 

[MikeJLURubi]

I didn't have the factory hitch so I was able to use and extension with a universal joint just like the Oracle video shows on their website. If yours has factory hitch I believe you have to remove the bumper

That's not the case. I didn't remove mine and I have the factory hitch.
Wasn't hard install

Rear end maintenance… changed out diff oil and switched diff covers from Motobilt to ARB. These things are beefy

Other than looking pretty, is there any lubrication advantages to changing the differential covers to ARB? The added strength is understood. Thanks

i mean, i guess its always a risk. Im not worried about it with Dave’s tuning much. He has been running the same file on his truck for a while, and has a ton of experience. He is one of the few tuners left that I know of that still uses knock ears. Most people these days dont even know what those are.

this ecu is so complicated that getting a PD blower to do what you want is really difficult.

install can be done in a day and half in your garage, i allotted 3. Ended up letting my local shop (Bull Run 4x4) do it for me while i was on a short deployment, because time was at a premium for me. It isnt hard to install if youve got some wrenching experience. I wouldnt recommend it if your only other instal was say, an intake or whatever, or if you arent comfortable extracting broken bolts etc. but if youve got some background and a good set of tools it isnt hard.

There could be a lubrication disadvantage with aftermarket diff covers

The ARB covers have a magnetic dipstick and drain plug to easily check levels and metal shavings to quickly determine fluid/gear health. Plus, the bolts are recessed so you can’t hit them as easily.
