Yeah there's a lot more rust back there!

Beware that the front leaf eye and shackle eye bolts go into welded nuts. If you break those you're in for a world of hurt. Also the bushing sleeves tend to seize to the bolts which is the bigger pain in the ***.

 

So my buddy has a 98 cherokee limited (mine is 98 classic). Both 4.0 aw4 with Chrysler 8.25. We did a friendly drag and I beat him by quite a bit and I had two people in my car and he had just one. He just had his in for a tune up too. Do we have different gears or something? I know he has the full time option so that might make his a bit heavier but what gears did 98s come with?

 

98 4.0 autos both came with 3.55:1

Is yours 2WD?

 

Do they both have similar mileage? Perhaps he's a ****ty driver. Too many variables. Need dyno sheet.

 

Clearly you are the better man

 

Mine is 4wd. Mine 180k his 195k milage. I drive pretty hard but probably doesn't drive any harder than me.

 

tire weight? lift?

intakes?

injectors?

kickdown adj properly?

like lowrange said, to many variables.

 

I'll make it easier. Both have no engine mods bone stock no lifts. Maybe I am just better, who knows?

 

switch jeeps and try it again. as long as it's legal of course.

 

the only difference i can think of is the transfer case and he has 235/75 knobby tires on 15x7s ans i have 235/75 street tires on 15x8s.
lol

 

Oh let me try, maybe cause you're harder on the gas, your jeep behaves different to adapt to that driving.

 

Maybe he runs ATF+4 and his transmission slipped while you won lol.

Dyno pull is good, switch Jeeps and see if anything changes.

 

Will do. We did a dirt race in 4wd and we were the same so Idk. Just curious as to why but its not that big of a deal lol.

 

I got it!!

you have a JET chip right?!?!

lol

 

No. You can't say that now. It's way too late for that!
