    Dana 35 LSD (3.07)

    1800 to 2000 Revs is FAR below the torque peak of a four or six cylinder either one. The torque peak is the most efficient engine speed. The 4 torque peak is 4000 and the six is 3200. You don’t want to cruise at torque peak, but the farther you get away from that speed the less efficient it...

    Am I to correctly understand that you want to run 3.07’s with 33’s?

    New Factor 55 Snatch Block Pro

    It’s interesting seeing money spent to develop and market a snatch block, after several years of pushing soft shackles and thimbles. After all the time spent pushing the safety of a solution that provides less mass for when it might become a projectile.

    Warn stopped e-commerce sale

    Yes, as of today, this thread is exactly one year old. I bought a Warn winch about six months ago from an online supplier. SURELY there couldn’t be a problem with misinformation from any source on the internet.😳. That could NEVER happen!😳

    Do you have a winch? How often do you use it?

    Yep, except for our very own “suicideking,” there are no kings in America. We have a much different form of government.

    How much wear do you allow off-road tires and which tires are best?

    As compared to other MT’s. That said, I took a set of Toyo AT III’s off my truck that were near new and they did not seem any quieter Than the Micky Baja Boss tires. They were on two different vehicles though. You would think that the truck would quieter the tires more than the Jeep, but it...

    So then you should just wheel at the times when a strap will do, and not wheel when it won’t. Great, so any tips on how to identify the times when the strap it is not enough so you can know when to stay home?

    I hope the Bosses work as well for you. I’m really impressed with them.

    How much wear do you allow off-road tires and which tires are best?

    Nope. No link. That was months ago and I have no idea where it came from, maybe it came out of the sky into my worn out 76 year old brain, but the only tires exact size that I care about are the ones I bought, and as I wrote, the spec sheet says that they are 34.6. Are tenths of an inch in...

    How much wear do you allow off-road tires and which tires are best?

    I finally got pictures of the old Mickeys posted on Marketplace and sold the five old tires, of which one had a knot at the bead, for $425.00. Thanks to several of you for the suggestion to sell them at 9/32”. In today’s Jeep world $425.00 is not a lot of money, but it definitely helps, and the...

    Centramatic vs Balance Masters wheel balancers

    Bingo! It takes more weight at a shorter radius to offset the same imbalance as less weight at a longer radius to offset the same amount of imbalance. It would take much less weight in the tire than in the mentioned balancers because weight in the tire is at virtually the maximum radius.

    Painting a black interior tan

    When spray painting, certain paints require a certain dry time after applying one cat before applying another. Sometimes you have a window that you can apply another coat. You have to wait a certain time before and you are not supposed to apply another coat after a certain flash time without...

    Hesitation and rough idle help

    I’m not talking about codes. I’m talking about fuel trim. The fuel trim will tell you if it is compensating for a lean or rich condition. If you have a friend that can read fuel trim, post it here so we can help further.
