That I'm not sure of. All ok is they change stuff every month. The guy that talked to us runs it. It seemed pretty nice while I was there just didn't find a group to wheel with but when I did it was awesome.

Ive found as soon as you go to a larger tire the jeeps dont wanna stay in over drive. And if you try to keep it in od it will loose speed

No that won't give you power. Lol it just changes your speedo readout.

i hit 95 once but that was a close to death ordeal lol. it was when i was like 19 and a rear passenger shot a roman candle out the window as a state trooper went the opposite way lol. we hit the next exit with a quickness! But yea i have noticed that with 33's if you keep it in overdrive you lose speed but i never did do anything to change the gearing. it was with 3.55's. Come on that seems like a lame excuse to not go to far away locations to hit the trails. fill the tank up and go!

Mine runs good with 31s, I just put some 703s in its more responsive better pick up, I just ordered new speedo gear. Doesn't run like it used to with the stock tires though, not sure my roof rack helps with full size spare either.

Ha, yeah i wasnt expecting a power improvement lol. i was speaking in terms of the computer, whether or not that could be affecting the overdrive. I may pull off my rack and see how that affects it as well. Yes i am lame, I have no issue taking my 68 chevy out on trips to indy but my 700r4 trans has a great over drive and i dont have to worry about my fuel gauge dropping like a ****...

Im heading to pittsburg this weekend, im going to pull the rack and see if that helps at all. i doubt it but who knows.
