What do you mean? I don't like 8.25 as much I hate d35. I just put this under the MJ so it ll pass inspection. Then a set of d44's is going in. I think I ll prob still go SUA. Doing a SOA will give me way too much lift, which isn't the direction I want to go.

Plus axle wrap is less of an issue with SUA.

True, forgot about plans for D44. Was just thinking if you're doing the work and want to trail it one day. But makes sense not to do it now and with the 8.25.

Friday I sent the MJ in for re-inspection. It passed. Woot.

Yesterday I finally had time to drive it, I took it out on a 100 mile drive for a shake down.

Drove and rode pretty good, even when it's loaded up with some of my tools from storage. No hiccups at all.

Here's a pic of the 2.5 exhaust and the 8.25 in place

Took it on another 100 mile trip, came back home carrying 1300 lbs in the bed and the engine/trans didn't skip a beat, accelerated just very responsively for 50 miles back home. I would say the MJ did pretty good.

They are some fun little vehicles I'll say that.
