25k, not so softly driven miles,Robles free. In fact, no issues with anything, yet....... The reliability of my '12, beats out my land rover, dodge ram and ford ranger I've owned over time. In fact, the Landy was the absolute worst. Just a tic under $24k in repair/replacement for major issues. Additionally, it's only been in once, for the trans cooler line recall, which was not needed, but required once it hit their doors.

1 - What gear ratio are you running?

4:10


2 - What tire size & Brand are you running?

37" cooper discoverer stt


3 - At 70 mph what RPM is your engine turning?

2200-2400. The problem is it shifts in and out of overdrive more frequently because I didnt regear

4 - Are you using the AEV PROCAL or Superchips Flashpaq?

No

5 - On the road what is your opinion of the performance?

Never had anything else. I walk all over the 3.8l for performance

6 - Off road what is your opinion of the performance?

Doesn't freeze frame movement much like it did with stock wheels. As in its jumpy and not responsive as much to the feather footing. Nothing to be concerned about. Minuscule difference.

7 - If your fairy god mother came to you and said you will get any tire/gear package you want would you change and to what?
37" to 4.88 or 5.13.

I decided on 4.56. Going to be about a month before I have them installed but hopefully I like the outcome.

1 - stock 4.10 ,manual 6 sp.

2 - Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac 315/70R17

3 - around 2400 RPM at 70 mph,

4 - speedo has been recalibrated by the dealer for 33'' tires (real measurement, my tires measures 33.75'' at 32 psi) Speedo seems accurate as per my Garmin GPS.

5 - Performance has decrreased a bit over stock but nothing to worry about

6 - Off road performance is ok and I have the rubi Rock track T-case so low range is still very low.

7 - I would redo the same mods again, very satisfied with the result.

I have 5.13 on 37's, I thinks just right for what I wanted, great off-road and good on the road/highway

If I commuted 4.88 would be better, but I prioritized for off-road
It's not driven everyday

A. You need to ask if people have automatic or manual.

B. Procal is for gearing. Flashpaq is for tuning. Do you mean Flashcal?

C. Offroad could mean anything. Rocks to forest roads. You should ask what type of off-roading they do.

off road: sand (soft & silty or course and gravelly), musk, glaciers, deep mud, hills, flats, packed roads, clay mud. Yep! It can get sticky!

So I had them installed yesterday. So far I like them but during the break-in cant really "drive" it. Once I get the break in done and change the oil hopefully I can get a better feel for them and see if it was worth the $$$$!
