This is really cool guys! Thanks so much for the pictures and comments. I definitely want the air box included. I just gotta get my buddy in gear to get me a quote for the blower!!

Im finally getting around to installing my Ripp in my 2012 jk. But I have to drive to my buddy's house so the jeep will be at full operation temperature. Any thoughts on how long it needs to sit before I start. It will be 5* tomorrow morning.

well at 5* i wouldnt think it would take very long to cool down... under a hour . you aren't going to have to install the ripp in 5 * temp are you ? good luck you will love the ripp

I got everything installed yesterday it took longer than planned. I had a few problems with the tuner but after downloading the latest update all the dash lights went off. I got to drive it a little last night and I have bad surging when I come to a stop or need to down shift to 1st or 2nd. I have a 6 speed so when I come to a stop with the clutch engaged the rpms rev anywhere between 1500-3100 for 5-10 seconds then comes to the 750 +/- range. I'm also having a heating problem when I'm on the highway it's perfect but when I come to a stop it rises fast(I installed ripp's 180* thermostat) I'm going to re-tune it today, check coolant level and lines. Any other ideas??

can't tell to much from the video but doesn't sound like a squeak. I did have a squeak on mine and changed the serpentine belt and no more issues. does it do it through the rpm range or only at idle?

There is a break in period where the computer has to relearn shift points and how to deal with the supercharger. It took me about a week of use and now it's very very smooth.
If you've never run a supercharger before that is an adjustment for you as well.
I had my Ripp off-road for the first time this weekend; it was impressive.
