MiNi Beast Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Looking to take mine back off and go stock one or a boomerang set. My leafs are to worn for these shackles and reste axle wrap. But it did yield the lift I needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 the MJ was a pretty good hauler when it was new. problem is that none of our trucks are new anymore. you're going to love the dual booster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rylee144 Posted June 29, 2021 Author Share Posted June 29, 2021 Got the new muffler and tail pipe on today. Not sure what brand they used but it sure is quite. So quite I hear every noise now. Happy i can start it in the morning without waking up the kiddos tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watchamakalit Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 I think they all look very rebuildable. A little brake clean and some fresh wd-40. Good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rylee144 Posted September 20, 2021 Author Share Posted September 20, 2021 I finally got around to figuring my gear ratio. It appears I have 4.56 gears. I got 4.5 rotations of the drive shaft per one rotation of the tire. I have 31" tires. Safe to say that's pretty low for the size of tires. If I didn't have 4 hours of freeway driving to my hunting camp I wouldn't complain as I'm mostly driving in town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 I assure you, it doesn't affect MPGs as much as you think. I'm envious of your ratio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rylee144 Posted October 5, 2021 Author Share Posted October 5, 2021 With almost everything in the front being new I was upset to feel a pretty good vibration above 35 mph. Maybe my tires are out of balance. One more thing to address before the big drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 front driveshaft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rylee144 Posted October 6, 2021 Author Share Posted October 6, 2021 22 minutes ago, Pete M said: front driveshaft? It definitely could be. ill crawl under and check my next day off. I recall changing one U-joint maybe I didn't do both, would have been a bad decision. Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rylee144 Posted November 1, 2021 Author Share Posted November 1, 2021 Got a good reminder today. If you see an issue fix it before it breaks. I noticed a fuel line was starting to fray, did I fix it...nope. Few months go by. Filled up the tank and drove the kids to school today leaving a solid trail of gas and blowing my whole tank on the road. Just made it to the store for a fuel line.

rylee144 Posted November 5, 2021 Author Share Posted November 5, 2021 Found a canopy for 20 bucks. Gets the job done but its rough. All the plexi glass is fogged or painted black. Makes it hard to check a blind spot. I have to reposition it later but itll do. Happy to have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
