Thanks @Jerry Bransford! For as long as we will own her, she’ll stay stock wheels/tires. You've hit the nail on the head with the low cruising rpm’s when in OD. When I get to a slight hill, adding accelerator doesn’t seem to gain much so she slips out of OD until I crest the hill and level out...

I clearly understood his response - a response that was not in any way helpful in light of the original question. Obi-Wan did later respond with some insite and helpful knowledge which is what I think is what the purpose of this board, or at least the forum and thread, is for. Not to be...

Thanks Irun! Will play with the calculator.

Thank You! Not defending the shop I got the Quote from, just repeating what he wrote to me when he provided the Quote. I came to this site to confirm his “opinion”, and between your and others replies, it sounds like he is misinformed (or maybe has some 4.10’s laying around that he could move...

Thanks! Not sure what point that your trying to make here. Who I have gotten a quote from and why he said what he said is why I posted the question here. I can only assume you don’t agree, and that’s OK - but your reply doesn’t provide any insight or answer to my original question.

Thanks! It seems to shift into overdrive a tad early and the mileage isn’t near what I would like (realizing TJ’s aren’t known for good mileage) - but since I‘ll be taking the dive, I thought I would ask what others thoughts were on what ratio. As noted originally, I’m a novice at gear ratios...

At 130k miles, our 2003 TJ (Oreo) is due for some differential work. I’m a novice on gear ratios - hoping for some good recommendation - Oreo has the 4.0l I6, 42RLE tranny, lockup torque converter LSD differential, running stock wheels and tires (P225/75R15’s @ 28.3” diameter). Stock gearing...

Yes - I think I added to the continuing post thread. Still evaluating - noted in the thread what I’m powering it with (note I said “Boom, it woke up“, but after a 40ish mile round trip around Dallas today, I’m back to undecided. But then TJ’s are not renowned for their road acoustics.

I’m using the original bezel for the 03 Jeep - the Metra I’m giving up was to fit a double DIN radio (I believe 7”diagonal). Not sure how long they made the rounded corner radio - I know my ‘03 Grand Cherokee had one as well, but my ‘12 didn’t that I recall. And Xtron may make more than 1 radio...

Used but in ”like new” shape (except where I had to slightly shave the rectangle that the radio fit thru). I just removed from my ‘03 after running a 2 din radio for about 2 years (I reinstalled the old round corner bezel along with a new PSD50WRJL). Pictured is all I have for the bezel. No...

Update today after having issues later yesterday (don’t sit in your driveway playing the system and tinkering without the engine running - you’ll kill the battery after about 3 hours and think something has gone haywire with all the spaghetti wiring). When I went out today and hooked the dash...

Where’s the link? 😀 In a posting or in the classified/for sale area?

Update to the clock display as noted above - I had found the GPS and WiFi antennas that shipped with the radio and with the warm temps today, went out to install. I also wanted to play around with the XC1410 4 channel amp and PhoenixGold settings and as luck has it, got wrapped up in other...

Finally got mine installed a week or so ago. Still trying to figure out how to set up the settings on the Clarion XC1410 amp that’s driving the front dash and rear sound bar speakers and the Phoenix Gold Sub amp for the 8” sub. After a year of the radio sitting unboxed in my office, I had...

FWIW - just had this happen to Oreo last Thursday - the Ms. got in to start Oreo to follow me, key would not turn. Ended up hitting the key with the palm of my hand while the key was inserted in the ignition. I felt a slight “pop” as my hand hit the key. Reached over, with my other hand, applied...
