sweet! thanks! also it has started up strong every time in park. these forums are such awesome resources, already lovin this one. only other forum ive taken part of is a southern river fishing forum, and learned so much in just a couple years from talking and fishing with other members from the site.

 

Good deal man!

 

Look at what a buddy and I built this weekend.

 

Well done, Looks good!

 

did you ever happen to check out the thread pattern for those zerk plugs you used?

 

Hey guys, I'm from Atlanta but go to school at Alabama in Ttown. I've had my XJ for a couple of years now and she's made it through all sorts of problems and mudpits.

1998 w/180,000 miles
4.5" Rusty's Suspension
33" BFG KM2's
and a whole bunch of other crap I bolted on it in the last year or two, it's been a great project car to work on with my dad.








I'm always looking to wheel in Alabama, especially in the Birmingham/Tuscaloosa area. Hit me up!

Anyone have a recommendation for a good shop to install gears in North Alabama? Preferably Huntsville, Decatur, Arab area.

 

RCOR is pretty much our only offroading shop with a reputation for it but i'm sure any full blown shop can do it.

quote at rcor for gears and install was 1300 for a few guys over on JF. What gears are you going to? these 3.55's are awful.

 

I know about rocket city, and I know all about their high prices. I am going with at least 4.56 gears but still thinking about 4.88 gears. When I had my mustang, I went with 3.73 gears and wish I would have gone steeper.

 

Yeah, I was originally going to decide on 4.56's but everyone online said go one size steeper and that they all regretted going 4.56's. Fine for driving, still not enough for wheeling.

 

No I haven't had a chance to. Ill try this weekend

 

That's the reason I am leaning toward 4.88. Only couple of hundred more RPM's at highway speed. Would make going back up Brindlee Mtn everyday from work easier LOL

 

I have 33x12.50s and I have 4.56s. I love the way it performs while Wheelin, I don't like 12.5 MPG though!

 

I am currently getting about 13 mpg so I figured with gears it would at least go up a couple mpg. Would make climbing the mountain easier at least.

 

i'm currently getting about 38 mpg.

oh wait,the jeep. yeah I figure its in the 10-15 range. This gearing is terrible. I could still get 18-20 highway when I had 33's on my tacoma. But then again, i couldn't wheel the taco like I can the jeep.
