'02 TJ with i4 -- Mid Life Crisis

Bolt in.  Just need to supply air.

Don't believe they are ARBs but they do work.  Stock air pumps are tiny little things...

These thing do not come up all the time.

DO IT.

they come up once in a while. if you want a set down the road we can find you one, but will likely have stock 4.10s and not 5.13s.

not sure what its like with your manual, but my auto is happy with 37s and 5.13 gears. could almost use more gear on the road. i'll have to run the numbers.

I get the feeling the health of my marriage is not the chief item of concern here...


If I could I would.

33s with 4.10s can not get to 5th gear. Not enough spank without those last two cylinders. With the 31s she cruzes right along all the way to 70. My plan was to move to 4.56s and get all new rubber with 33 for both DD and fun time. That was more about the d30/d35 limits than any reluctance to go bigger.

joe has 4.10's and 35s with a 4 and doesnt seem to complain to bad.

Automatic?


95% of my driving is in the 45-55 range which sits from 1800-2200 in 4th at about 1/3 throttle. Once in 5th it is thin peddle to the floor to keep 55 at about 1900. It isn't undrivable. The biggest thing is the difference in throttle. I played with doing 55 in 3rd and needed much less throttle but didn't like running at 3K all the time. Gas consumption was much lower though...

3k is a good cruising speed for the 4 squirrels at highway speeds!

65 on the 31s is 2700 in fifth...


You have all ruined my plan yet again.

I have been somewhat quiet about my big project for MLC. It has nothing to to with increased capability (right now) but is more focused at adding/upgrading some features. Things like automatic lights, push button start (no key but no rfid either) color selectable interior lighting, digital display of data to driver, etc. Basically all the nice features on newer cars.


This weekend I managed to get the lighting and vehicle energizing (enter code to enable acc/starter) working. not much to look at now, but next post "should be" the prototype running on a 14v bench supply.
