pictures of MJ with gamblers?

[Mitch]

anyone?

[purplexj]

Wondering how they look too. Have a brand new set for my Xj, but too cold and now snow. Got a set of 5 for $250 , never mounted. I'll try them on Xj and Mj w/ 31"s when we get better weather and post pic if you don't get one first.

[feerocknok]

These?

[purplexj]

Yes those. Looks fast standing still. Might put them on the MJ since now my wife wants it. Quess I'll remove the SOA for her to DD it. Thanks

Feerocknok: When you say "zero to 60 in 27 seconds" are you talking about the 2 doors Xj in the picture? What engine?

 

The question is because i have always wondered what would be a reasonable or normal acceleration value for my 2,5 lts MJ (carbureted).

 

Thank you

yep them are the rims... are they 15x7 or 8?

It's not my XJ, just one I found on the internet.

 

My truck goes from 0-60 MPH in 27 seconds with stock gears, a rebuilt fuel injected 2.5L with an automatic transmission, no unneeded weight in the truck, and 31" tires.

[Mitch]

are you serious???? 30 seconds to get to 60mph?

[JeepcoMJ]

yea i was thinkin that too...i have 31's on my truck with either 3:73 or 3:54 gearing (not sure) and even with my 2.8 i was under 20. with the 3.8 i break 15 easily...that guy's truck is one slow truck.

[feerocknok]

It's hella slow. I'm hoping the regear will help and I need to check some sensors (even though the dealer said they checked them) cause the trucks doing some funky idle things even with a new CPS.

Truck weighs 3600 with a 1/4 tank of gas and me inside.

Is the cat alright?

[feerocknok]

Is the cat alright?

Not sure. I'll prob change it. That's why I had the high-flow cat thread up awhile back.

Possibilities for the speed are the gearing, sensors, cat, or the power sucking 904 transmission.

[Kenosha Warrior]

jeeze man, my tired old 2.5'er and the 4spd will do at least 0-60 in 20 sec. Thats with 205's.

[Pete M]

Lets all not forget that the speedometer will be off with tire size changes. Not that there are any sort of bragging rights if these times are indeed accurate. :roll:

[speed_racer]

holy hell... Ive NEVER Been in a rig that slow... lol

 

Is your motor super boggy? or really windy? (wine-dee)

 

Doesn't make sense dude...

 

Or maybe my perception is just totally off, time to go time the MJ, I'm guessing at least lower than 10 seconds w/stock gearing, 5 speed, and 31's

I've figured what percent my speedo is off, so it's actually 60. It's just slow. I got a video of the tach and speedo rising to 60 today so I can see where it's pulling and where it's lagging.

[purplexj]

Getting back to the rims, they are 15 x 8.

LOL!

[purplexj]

It doesn't bother me if anyone needs or want's to get off topic. If you don't ask, you don't get.

[Guest]

In that case it is me who has to say sorry. I asked about acceleration in this topic but the sentence before the nice XJ picture called my attention.

 

Sorry. I should have written another post.

[Mitch]

I don't mind, I will probably be buying the gamblers (if I still have a job) so I will get a first hand look at them. Glad something useful happened in one of my threads.

I got mine over the winter, brand new in the box for $250 all 5. But I still have'nt mounted them.
