MountaineerTom's 2006 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited

I think I’m going to pull this hardtop back off relatively soon and go back to my soft top. I like the hard top, but I also don’t like it.

It’s like having one wrench. Just one and it’s only one size, non adjustable.

I like the hard top, but I also don’t like it.

I keep looking for a reasonably priced hardtop so I can have that problem too. I think I've put my top down twice in the last 2 years.

If I see any in my area, I’ll let you know.

OEM? Any particular color?

OEM and sub $900 is what I’ve been looking for, preferably with factory tint. I think black or tan would look good with my blue. No rush, but I know it's top-off season, so if you stumble upon one let me know.

Will do.

Friday, I sent my original @Wranglerfix PCM from 2019 to Mark to get the new 42RLE upgrade. Looking forward to getting it installed and see the difference. My jeep isn't ideally geared, but it's not terrible. From the factory it had 3.73's and 30-inch tires. I moved up to 31's, so I'm curious to see the difference.

PCM to get the new 42RLE upgrade.

What are the expected changes? Just trans shift points or is this also some engine tuning?

From Mark:
...tailored to enhance throttle response, increase horsepower and torque across the entire powerband.
...shifting points having been slightly modified in the transmission.

Got my @Wranglerfix PCM back in the mail today and reinstalled.

The shifts are sooo smooth. I normally turn the OD off when I get in, but I didn’t this time. Took it out for about a 20 mile trip. Pretty flat land around here, but I took it out on the highway where there is a pretty good length hill and a 65 mph speed limit. The power felt just right, even going back up that hill.

Thanks again, Mark!
