SOB! so i'm an idiot, the reason the strut basket/seat looked crooked was because i was looking at the 'back' of it. the ring is still in tact and bushings are fine. but still thinking maybe the strut itself went out, i installed the ranchos. then i took it out, and the same damn sound is there. sou...

mine is the 40410 version. still not sure that there's a difference between the two versions, i would -imagine- they use the same tune. and you can do on the fly idle adjustments, even while in drive. i took a vid, kinda out of focus, but you should be able to get the gist... http://www.youtube.com/...

ehhhh, thought i remembered reading like 60-65mph in the manual......(although if you -need- 4wd you shouldn't be going that fast anyway!)

doctahjones

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I believe you're only supposed to use 4hi/4lo when you're stuck like in snow or mud. you can use 4hi whenever "slick" conditions are present, like rainy/wet/snowy/icy roads and anytime on dirt/mud. 4lo -should- only be used offroad. however if it's just...

not sure what model i have, i'll have to check in the morning.

i'll also check on the rpm thing, and see how it behaves. i think you can adjust that on the fly.

doctahjones

when you say prgs, i assume you mean the rad flo's? i didn't think those had adjustable dampeners? that's one of the reasons i'm going with the ranchos...

doctahjones

i know for sure the ring on the passenger side is now "missing". ranchos were ordered last night (@$173 a piece, free shipping!). you can also see how the spring seat is not level with the strut, as it is on the drivers side (which is the pic with the arrow in it). originally i put them in...

i added the lift first, then bags, then tires. i wasn't sure the 285/65s would fit without the lift. however adding the bags and keeping them at ~30psi will get you an extra ~1/2in lift in the back (at least it did for me). however if you're going to keep them at that pressure for the majority of th...

doctahjones

are you asking do you need the 2in quicklift in order to do the airbags? no, you don't have to have a lift to run the bags.

but if you're asking if you "need" the 2in lift......well, i guess no one -needs- a lift, but i sure do like mine

i have a problem with the logic/pictures of this thread on the change. maybe i'm just not understanding it, but in my pathy it looks like there's more (like the ext cooler in front of the radiator) to the routing in mine than simply moving hoses. the way i did it assures me that all i did was simply...

91/93 (whatever is highest at particular pump). i generally prefer shell or chevron. no particular reason, just personal "feeling" about the quality of their gas (yeah, i know there's probably -no- difference between them and grocery store gas). i also tend to hit newer stores than older o...

so for almost the past month the pathy hasn't felt right when going over bumps at higher speeds. it would sway in this left right motion that was a 'new' feeling. also when going over speed bumps at low speed i would hear like a scraping or thud kind of sound, which sounded like when your strut goes...

doctahjones

can't believe it....took the jeep back out to this park parking lot and did a crapton of donuts......then went back and grabbed the pathy to do the same. didn't realize it until i tried started this video, but apparently the 'lock' slider was engaged on my sd card, so none of that recorded (@!$%!#$^...

doctahjones

Cool! I may stick with the stock rims on 35's then and just buy some spacers to push the wheels out a tad. Once you start raising it, the narrow stance really starts to look funny! only problem you may run into is the stock LE rim width (7.5in) vs the "tire manufacture minimum rim width specif...

doctahjones

oh yeah and it's confirmed that those yok geo ats i have are -crap- in snow and/or ice. even with vds off my pathy doesn't slide around 1/2 as much. yes, in the video i am 'hotdogging' it alot more, but if i tried the same thing in the pathy, my bfgs aren't that easy to spin and seem to recover trac...
