Do you think they have some TQ MGMT stuff like the Chevrolet's do that hold it back off idle?

I didn't realize they had that much more power.

I still have yet to hear of a rubicon with 3.21s.

Have you put the tuner on it yet? Wonder if that will wake it up? I assume JKs are Throttle by wire?

matth_85 · Jul 28, 2015

Now you know Jimbo put that tuner on in HR 1

they are most definitely throttle by wire. You can recalibrate a factory setting to get rid of the dead spot in the gas pedal. We did it to ours and it made a big difference. I had Jimbo do it, but I'm not sure he had driven his stock enough to notice how bad it was before.

Jimbo,

I'm looking into a set of the EVO rockstar skids that move the rear shock mount up 2" when we do the BB. That would eliminate the need for the rear shock extension bracket and get rid of the shock anchor these jks have.

hey now, I might weld them on! :weld:

Also, Jimbo, not sure what you were looking at for rear track bar mount, or if the kit you got addressed it already, but I was looking at this one from ARTEC because its about half the price of all the bolt on ones.

Finally got the pedal calibration to work. Skerb gave me the wrong instructions.... It definitely made a difference. Much peppier off the line.

jimbo92 · Jul 29, 2015

Oh and highest gears available on rubicon are 3:73 and only on crapomatics.

jimbo92 · Jul 29, 2015

I like that shock skid. Not a big fan of the rear extensions. As far as the track at deal we discussed, I don't think you will notice a difference in roll center from the budget boost.

The new #JK is nice Jimbo. Took it for a drive tonight. Definitely make the TJ feel like a **** box. But my $23/yr taxes make up for it. :flipoff2

Yeah...taxes....grrrr

Hey Brooks, I got some small brackets that fit the lower shock mount and welded them on my lower control arm bracket, then I cut off the bottom of that bracket flush with the control arm joint.

What do those EVO's cost? Joe gave me a lead on small shock mount brackets that were left off of some kind of lift kit....Cole would know what I'm talking about. I'll get a pic up.
