Autos already have the supposed benefit of "manualmatic". Mine lists PRND21 on the console.

Does the 32rh also do that? I guess I was under the impression that it didn't let you do that.
OP
K I'm dumb. I guess it's benefit is probably like the OD deactivation button everyone puts in for the 42rle
Jeep gave us the OD off button on the 42rle. My Liberty has one too. It's labeled as tow/haul. It's use is unrelated to being able to shift into 1st/2nd.
Understanding something and knowing how it works does not mean you have feelings about it. It just means you understand.Sometimes things are lost in translation, I suppose. But yes, I did try to find what you wrote about it myself instead of listening to other's interpretations. It still kinda sounds like you do - I guess it's just a strong dislike when in the TJ?
100% bullshit. If they ran a gauge with a sender in the pan, they'd see a lot of sustained 230+ temps running up hills on the highway.
Do yourself and everyone on here a favor. Start a post asking how many folks that run autos would like to be forced to manually shift them as a daily. On trail, we all do. Drop it in first for 90% of the day when it is in 4 low. Other than that, manual shift sucks donkey balls. And if you haven't driven one, you have zero appreciation for how much they are not fun.
Remember my comment about making sure all the other trade-offs you wind up with are in fact worth it? You want your cruise control to work? Fine, send the auto PCM out and get the TCC circuit killed and then the CEL for it not being there because that is the only way you can make the cruise function. Not saying that is a deal breaker, just a small example of the bullshit that is that swap.
2 out of 10 still in play. Those are shit numbers.
If you can't put your wheeling gear in 3 medium soft bags smaller than a six pack igloo cooler, you're doing it wrong, very wrong.
OP
Ah right it's wiring that button to be default to off that people do or something huh.
That would be a mistake. But I'm starting to notice a trend here.
All TJ autos do it. Another data point for the trend I'm seeing.
OP
I see I see yeah that makes sense.
Yeah I think my thoughts here are related to only ever driving my manual jeep. No idea how an auto behaves really, or how often you actually get annoyed by it shifting when you didn't want it to.
I don't have CC already
Yep sounds like it, I could make it 2/11...
OP
I have all my stuff in one of those black bins with a yellow lid that are everywhere, the smaller version. I have a plug/patch kit, shackles, winch remote, gloves, 1 tool roll, 1 tool bag, and I started jamming in my [fake] impact and a drill in a bag just cos they fit. An ammo can under the drivers seat for my air stuff. Box is strapped in the back, I typically throw my backpack with food and jacket and etc between my seat and box. It's not a lot of stuff, my dog is just long
OP
Why? I'm making mistakes cos I'm trying to learn. I thought the HP Dana 30 was enough for 35s w/ chromo shafts, and better ground clearance than the 44?
You wanna know how fucking stupid that is? When you grab holt of the shifter to take it out of park, if you extend your index finger while it is resting on the shifter handle, it touches the OD off switch. Literally. That means anyone that does that mod is too fucking stupid to stick there finger out and touch the switch when they start the vehicle and put it in gear. Not only that but if you cycle it back to park, you either have to turn the rig off and back on, or reach your little finger out and touch the switch. Next thing you know they will have someone in the passenger seat turn the fucking ignition key for them because they can't learn which way it goes. That's how dumb that is.
OP
That's the ratio you want with the 42rle? Yeah that would be dumb then.
So ideally, no matter if I find an LJR or get a non-rubi, I will need to find a Dana 44 for the front. That is good to know, adds a little more value to getting the rubi if possible since those front axles seem to go for quite a bit used.
Bins are dumb because they take up more space than the stuff that is stored in them. And, they have angled sides which are horrible inefficient and take up even more space because the rim that the lid fits over is larger than the base by more than a little.
Plug and patch kit belongs with the air stuff. You use them both on tires, they go in the tire bag. Recovery bag has JUST recovery stuff in it. If the shackles are steel, throw all but one of them on the shelf in the garage and get some soft shackles. Winch remote and gloves go beside the driver's seat and rocker in that little space there. Recovery bag goes where it can be reached from outside the vehicle easily in case you get in a spot where you can't leave the driver's seat to hand it out to someone.
OP
I agree with the wasted space, but my thinking with the box is I can put the lid on and strap it down. There is some wasted space but unless I built stuff to sit on the wheel wells (which would've been a good idea until I started thinking about selling...) It won't open up much useable space if I just strap the bags down.
What setup do you use to strap these various bags down?
The viar 88p I have basically takes up the entire box, plus deflators and gauge. I was hoping to do the AC compressor mod eventually but haven't gotten around to that.
Yep steel shackles but I believe the soft ones I got from you should be showing up today and they will definitely be being replaced!
But yeah I could use to reorganize a bit. Maybe I will spend some time this year working in that since I am probably going to stop working on any mods.
The difference between 5.13 and 5.38 is only about 150 rpm, if I recall correctly.
So unless you really need the 4:1 tcase, is a Rubi worth the extra 6-7 grand for those 150 rpms? Not to me.
I may be talking out my ass tho, because I’m putting 5.89s into my Rubi 44. If I hadn’t picked it up for the steal I did, I would’ve built a HP30 no doubt.
