And people wonder why the "jeep wave" isn't always returned.

If it's got solid axles front and rear, it's a fellow Jeep, that's how I see it. Then there's the IFS Dodges with Jeep tags. Nothing wrong with what he was saying, just doesn't know any better. There was a time when I couldn't even tell you the difference between the hatch and the hood.

I can almost guarantee if you help him, YOU will learn something as well.

I'm mechanically inclined but know little in terms of XJ knowledge that some of the Yoda's on here and I know that some of the questions I ask are easy to answer to many, and I GREATLY appreciate a nice straight forward and correct answer.

Think of it this way, how would you have known what to do the first time you got your pecker wet without watching some good 'ole ****???

He should have held out for a 2012. He got stuck with a Caravan engine. Even regeared, that 3.8 won't like 37s.

Lol, screw all of you. (in the.nicest way possible of course)

OP, keep laughing at the douche. Sorry guys, but.I highly doubt this guy cares about how his overpriced street Jeep performs offroad. Hopefully.he.will blow.it.up and thats one less jk owner to.deal with.

And if he wants help, he'll get on a forum. And if.he.asks questions in the wrong thread which is why nebs get tore up. Thats EVERY forum. From the.computer geeks.to.that hard core vehicle forums.

considering it seems like 99% of the people who post here live at their mom's house, no one should be laughing at anyone.

This is pretty much a ricer forum with JKs swapped for honda civics and rustys stickers swapped for mugen stickers

well back to what you originally said about the 37's, he will definatly want to regear at the least, i have seen 5 jk's now in our dealership now all lifted with 35+ tires that the main rod bearings are wasted and end up needing engines. And in the posters defence i have noticed (not all) most of the guys that come in with jk's seem to be douchbags. but the cj tj and yj owners are pretty cool. just saying
