it's not great, it definitely goes faster in 4lo than everyone else will which makes it a lot more difficult to control. It's a pain with a manual. Regear when you can. Until then enjoy it, and enjoy having money in your bank account.

Did you reprogram? I'm about to put 35" nitto's on mine with 3.21. I have a procal sitting here and just waiting on the tires to arrive. I hope it helps a little for things like avoiding "limp mode" that i read.

I think I saw your Jeep today, are you running it with an arrow as an antenna?

I don't think that was me, however, a bow arrow for an antenna would look wicked cool! I like that idea

Yeah it was awesome and wish I wasn't driving on 1604 to get a shot of it. Definitely a Walking Dead theme old school for sure.
