Neither. This Judd is more entertaining and fun at parties:

Edit #4
She in and she frigging rips😁
Who woulda thought 4.88s/33s were better than 3.73s/33s😆
I do have some slight minor howling that I'll need to address,hopefully I can get away with some shims😅

Where did you mount the back-up camera?

Mounted it with a license plate bracket, and then just angled it to what looks best. It's very wide eye/fish eye like most, so works well at just simply seeing what's behind that 35" tire. I have actually since disabled the parking lines, but if you like those, they too can be adjusted by the head unit if you want to spend a few minutes setting it up.

I personally just love being able to simply see what's behind, works great!
 
View attachment 598686found rodent nest number 3. First day of actually concentrated on third polishing. Though the main job today was replacing rear shocks and getting the bolts prep to drop the gas tank for the next project. Rewarding to put some paint on the frame & bumper after a lot of grinding sanding and acetone.

Get the plug in rodent repellers at wal mart. They work. 6 for 24.95.

Good morning folks. Not necessarily today but the last few days I've started the basics on my new to me 2002 TJ sahara with 136k on her. Plugs , coil rail, air filter , oil change & filter, thermostat and new housing, steering stabilizer, front shocks... those front shocks made the arms feel like jello this morning. I greased all the zerks I could find thus far. I have the rear shocks on deck for today and have the trans filter and lube sitting on the work bench. All stock minus the aftermarket rims, no lift which I'm the odd ball, I like the ride height as it is. Have the notorious fender rust starting to show so those will come in time. Diff fluid swaps in the plan as well as transfer case. Always good to know what other 100plus mile maintenance should be done so if I missed items send me a message!

Check your harmonic balancer for signs of degradation. The bonding material is known to fail over time and they can come apart.
