You rewired the 12v feed to the PDP to run off 24 to 12 converter? I like that idea, keeping the alternator all on 24v, right? Which converter and where did you locate it?
The front tires have a different 90º angle connection with the slot so that the front tires may be lowered independent of the rear tires for air transport. If you do not need to air transport your vehicle it is considered good practice to replace these kneeling valves with non-kneeling valves...
Confirmed we can easily fish wires through the 'A' pillar instead of running several up where they look ugly. Unless you want pictures of a blank interior 'A' pillar nothing to see. Move along, move along—
I have not driven the 3.07's. I love the changes Eco Hubs made to our M1078A1: significant noise reduction, simpler wheel hubs, less gear lash and loss of efficiency, more pep, smoother gear changes and lower rpm's at speed. The 3.07's only offer the last, and marginally.
In the exhibit below...
I was of the same mind and even did up a spreadsheet on the crawl ratios to compare 3.90's, 3.07's, 3.90's with EcoHubs, and 3.07's with Eco Hubs. I too like that my current Wrangler has 1:86 crawl ratio in 4Low first gear. What pushed me over the edge to 3.90's with EcoHubs is the torque...

One debate I...
Hmmm. That's what I was thinking until my brothers pointed out that most states require modulated and break-away brakes on any towed unit over 3,000#. In Texas its 4,500#. After reading the Texas code the only exception appears to be when the towed vehicle is a commodity. That's how those...

The football match ended in a nil-nil draw.
From Latin nīl, a contraction of nihil, nihilum (“nothing”).
DynaMat glued to the doghouse, DynaCore glued to DynaMat and itself. We taped the DynaCore seams, though that didn't work well, so pulled it out. It seems fine for now. She is much quieter, doing the inside is going to make her purr—
We added soundproofing over insulation under the doghouse in the engine compartment.
Cut down on the engine noise significantly.
Then we mocked up and installed brackets for our new seats. Once we are sure we like their location and height we will clean them up and make them pretty...
