Full stock Wildtrak with only 1.5 spacers added. Perfect poke for me without looking like a RC truck. No rub or anything like that on road. Slightly less turning radius over stock, but only barely noticable. I used these spacers and have been running them since March. Before that I had a...

What material did you print with?

14 months, 8k miles, no issues even with an 18" sub pushing 143 dB.

I do agree with you on one point and that's the number of gears! 10 speeds is crazy in this application, esp condensed to a 0-100 mph range, haha. On the other points, I think you just have a case of spring nostalgia. The 2.7 gives ~250 lb-ft torque at 2500rpm and 300 at 2750! If you want...

Okay, now we are getting somewhere...we think it's turbo lag. How are you launching the 2.7? This is the basic idea on the 2.7: Sport mode, 4wd Hi, Manual, 2nd Gear, Long Hold TC off, rev to 3000-3500, hold for a second, release the brake, floor the gas, bump shifter up to D ASAP. I'm sure a...

I would bet one truck had 33s and the other had 32s. Depending on package they could also have different final drive ratios. Even assuming they both have 4.46 gears, having 32" tires effectively ups the ratio to ~4.6 vs the other truck and doesn't consider the weight. The 33s are ~78lbs and...

That looks to be a lot of force on that mounting point. Could easily sheer any part of that. I mounted a small air tank on the side of the roll bar in my previous Jeep and after a couple of months, one of the legs for the air tank ripped at the bend and the other was already significantly...

I appreciate the correction on the math. And I'm downloading the app now actually. Point still stands that it can take quite a while to recoup the cost of the tune if overall cost savings is your goal. If you're just looking for an excuse to get a tune, well I think we'll support you here and...

It is PWM for sure to save on wear and tear. No need to run at 100% if the driver never gets on it. And you can run the inectors with a limited duty cycle as well. Saves wear on all fronts. But are we talking the nTH degree here or something significant, I don't know honestly. In...

@Ducati1098 is the expert for sure, but adding my 2¢ on a possible alternative. Not sure what the break-even point is for an e85 tune, but you can run e30 on stock tuning. Basically you can replace 25-33% of your fill up with e85. Some savings that way without the tuning spend up front...

I would call Jon and ask.

The board behind the rear seats can be unscrewed. That's what I did when I added my subwoofer box. The guy at JF was pretty cool to work woth...i bet he could likely just make it without that piece. The price seems a little steep until you get to see it. The cover will outlast the and you'd...

JFTops is the way I bought the original tonneau cover that he made when I had my JKU and I'm getting ready to buy the same for my Bronco now. Well made and after 4 years of use on and off road, no damage or fading. I even had it covering an 18 inch sub and it flexed and moved and has never...

Seems like Cali frowns upon your intended shenanigans! https://www.hagerty.com/media/news/california-charges-14-in-latest-crackdown-on-montana-license-plate-loophole/

Not a welder either, but a I grew up a poor redneck for sure. First, 1 battery isn't going to do it. 2 Might get an arc, but it's going to stick a lot. 3 batteries is as good as you get, and 4 is on the high end of too much voltage. Keeping in mind that this is a makeshift, limp me off...

Like @sluggs said, It won't be night and day but in my opinion, you've put that much time and effort into your system and components; I think this would be a worthwhile upgrade.

I can't comment specifically on the Helix, but I did something similar with my previous Wrangler. I had a full system starting with a JL TWK-88, but was still connecting through my stock head unit and the Bluetooth delays, disconnects, etc killed me! So I picked up a JL MBT-RX (similar to...

I'm running the same setup and fuel mix on mine with no issues.

I had some window issues above the normal PITA relearn and was able to resolve with the help of FORScan. Basically the DDM thought my drivers rear window was above the travel and it wouldn't let the module even go into the learn mode. I was able to cheat the module status with a reboot while...
