True point. It's a steep peak. So much learning going on here! That's why I enjoy CC :)

3000 rpm seems painful no? Running hotter and screaming...... I was always told 2000-2250 was ideal

Shy of my ability to choose shift points I guess you are running the closet set up to mine. I'm going to try to trade some leftover TJ parts (oem half doors) for a set of 31" duratracs or mtz's then. That way if the 33" really hurt my ability to clear an intersection before being to the highway I'll be able to swap back. Thanks everyone for your input and stories! Feel free to keep sharing for other angry squirrel owners :)

@Eagle THANKS! that must have took quite the time to make! Too bad the tire I wanted to know about was the only one not on the list..... should I assume 33-10.5 the same as 33-12.5 or 32-12.5?

Just line up the copper "lines" to make sure they go to the right/desired gauges. I did a swap on mine so that i could add an idiot light that wasn't there before (previous sheet was defective) on one of my auto converted trucks. Renix to renix and you are good to go.

CommandTrac

In that theory if one was a bit lead footed and prefers to cruise high speeds but take time getting to them then a slightly larger tire would be good? Slightly ...... not massive boggers ;)

That'll be nice to see!

That'll be nice to see!

That's what I'm trying to understand too....

I then ran a compare of scenario my old xj setup that i loved vs how the mj sits now and again i don't think this is reliable if comparing to what people's experiences are Right MJ 3:55 ax4 33" / left XJ 3:55 aw4 31": And again with 3:55 33" comparing ax4 to ax5:

Nice database but it's missing np207 I ran the data comparing my buddy's 92? YJ that runs 31" bfg at on 4:10 231 ax5 2.5l (so roughly the same hp) on the left column. My mj with 33" on 3:55 208 (closest to 207 IIRC) ax4 2.5l. This is what i got: Now if he ran the 33"s instead.... That being said the numbers say to me that I'm good with what i got? Or did I totally miss something?

No worries those are the cheap and easy parts to replace! You could take some "flushmount" or mini lights that won't sick out waiting to be shaved away. Also Bush bars are awesome! I like the emgo aluminum frame with black plastic guards

No worries I prefer riding on more aggressive tires and older dual sport bikes. It's all in your individual comfort. Did most of my on road learning on a drz400sm converted to mostly dirt capable. Knobby tires etc.... Was a blast and never dropped it except once while pushing it into a trailer. I think you'll love it so long as you respect it. And maybe get some 70/30 rubber.

Sadly regearing is NOT an option. lowering the truck and going back to 31" is. Guess I'll be digging out the old suspension setup and tires for standby sooner than I planned.

Thanks for chiming in! That's what i thought I'd hear. But how was the drive aside from forth feeling useless? Would Having ax5 with the 3.55 have made any difference for the 2.5l? Anyone else with a 4 cyl manual around to give their daily driver 0.02$? Having no intention to wheel off road or go for a 1/4mile record.... Might just end up dropping back down to 31" if no one finds the setup tolerable. Be changing gears any time soon i just replaced the gears on the rear. I tried the 4.10 ratio with these 33"s on my 4.0 3speed auto TJ before i sold it and it was like pulling an anchor. Lots of start up torque but no top speed. Screamed on the highways and bogged at hills. Never broke 125kmph. 32"s with 3.55 on my 4.0 aw4 XJ was beautiful i blew away everything i wanted to pass. Should have never sold that one.

That's the thing it was fine with the 31" guess I'll just have to try and see but anyone out there run the same setup? 4speed manual 4 banger owners?

Yay today was much progress! She's drivable again! But now i need to either replace the clutch fan or upgrade to electric

Finished rebuilding the d44 then did a fluids check. Glad i did. Trans was over by 1L! Then found the clutch fan is near death time for an upgrade

Did the search but nothing coming up so please guide me here.... Situation: I have an 86 i4 tbi ax4/207 with 3.55 30/44. This truck ran well on bfg at 31x10.5 got good acceleration and kept decent speed (for those who know the 407-ETR in Ontario let's say it kept with the flow) I just rebuilt my rear end that had a pinion mishap with a 3.55 Trac-lok from a donor LJ with 60,000 highway km on it. Somewhere between the 31x10.5 bfg at grew 2" to 33x10.5 bfg at. I plan to daily drive the truck and occasionally haul the dirt bike into trail heads using fire roads etc but mostly just pavement lady driving. K so now that i wrote way too much: in all honesty with this setup will I notice much difference adding 2" total to the height? Keeping in mind it is a 4speed manual 4 banger with 3.55 as the stock gears and tires were/are both 10.50 wide bfg at. Thanks.

Love the older thumpers. Had a few DTs then bored/stroked an 07 drz400..... If this girl (me) can tinker with them anyone with some wrenching skill can! Check out thumpertalk.com for most of your needs :)

Danm so far :(

Thanks! Now to gather parts ;) And follow your build

Just the compressor setup (how it mounts) and the lines/plugs running from it to the firewall.I just want to be sure what connection points I'm dealing with. That would be great.

Can I pick your brain @outlaw star Would you mind sharing close up pics along your a.c. I'm trying to put a.c. into my i4 86 and can't find any actual photos of the setup under the hood.
