I was looking at the pictures but could not figure out if you can Keep the Air-Conditioner with this kit.. is it possible or does the RIPP require the space?

AC remains stock - the only thing your moving from the OEM spot is the battery, we supply you with a drop in battery tray... and all the battery extensions needed to get the job done.

Hi Ripp Tech, I'am Tom with the big red J K you guy's built up a couple years ago, hell of a jeep, is there any fix or can you shut off the TRD alarm, or tell me how to get around it. the dam thing shuts the motor down when you try to pass someone, they should'nt put something like that on any vehicle. other than that it still runs fine, no complaints at all. Thanks TCJeep

Holy - thats our test mule - how many miles do you have on it now?

Torque Request Denied is a product of the load calculations - its not a map we can tune - per-say - we have been working on work around but we are still a few months away - in the interim its more likely to trip when floored - if you lift you foot slightly off the floor when passing it will not trip - Its a matter of getting used to rolling off the gas to accelerate.

Questions welcome

We are waiting on manufacturing - its taking longer to get things made and shipped now - so we have no definitive ETA - we will make it public as soon as we know more.

One more question Is the light problem fixed when you snap the throtle to hard? When you are passing or let off to quick. Just know this has been a problem in the past whith both Super Charger kits. Not just yours! I am waiting on the Intercooler as well any ideas when we can order the complete packages?

What kind of long term effects would this or any supercharger have on my JK? Would I be lookint at a motor or tranny rebuild sooner than later? I know 200k miles on a TJ wasn't unreasonable, and I expect the same from my JK with the way I maintain it.

I'm not in the market for one right now, but down the road, I can definatly see myself spending money on boost for my JK rather then trading in for a new model with a proper engine and having to lose the thousands in mods I'v invested into my JK.

Thanks!
