I just changed mine to 5w40 full synthetic rotella. Jeep seems to like it real well.
So I have an C8.25 rear axle with 3.55 gears. And a 230MM front axle. What is a 230mm axle? Dana 30?
I wanna move up to 33" tires this summer. I read that the strength of the 8.25 is comparable to the dana 44..
Sooo in order to put 33s on there I can leave the 8.25 and do the 29 spline conversion?? Anything else I need to do to it? What gearing would be better? It is my daily driver.
For the front axle.. What am I gonna need to do to put the 33s?

Really, I've seen three types of Wrangler drivers:
Yuppies who commute (very common)
"Nice Jeep" (fairly rare)
And
"That isn't a real Jeep" (common)

I asked this last night with no real response, How should i go about rapairing this.....


The previous owner did this and now everytime the engine or hose wiggles it sprays fuel on the intake and exhaust. Iv drivin it like this for a year and its just starting to spray. I didnt want to cut the hose off since i know if i do it will have to be repaired immediately and im not sure how id like to do it.
As far as I know thats the "inlet" fuel line on the renix generation. Can i cut it all off all the way down to the metal line under the cab and run fuel rated hose to the rail with hose clamps?
