Got 3 rigs logged so far

Pzilly good input. If all the LJ/42rle owners want to call out their build (precisely) and what they have tried I am willing to build a spread sheet to try to point out similarity’s. The recent conversation has been about harmonics, although we have multiple transfer case skid plates included...

Here is an observation of other LJs with automatic transmissions that I test drove recently that do NOT have the drone above 62 mph. Both of them had spacers between the frame and the skid plate. One LJ had a bent stock skid plate and the other was a Clayton long arm skid plate with 4.88s...

My concern is more the vibration slowly damaging bearings, splines and seals not so much the annoying drone. Blaine, Dave or those that are mechanically knowledgibe and experiencesd with this specific issue, do you believe this harmonic issue can cause mechanical wear with known balanced...

FYI I just helped my buddy buy a local LJ w/42rle. I test drove 3, 2 of the 3 did not have our issue all auto....still a mystery... My build 4” currie, 1.25” BL, UCF alum. Tummy tuck w/alum engine skid, 5.13 gears, ARBs, new stock transfer case mount, everything new with SYE and both CV...

Did you stick with 4.5 on 5 or go to 5 on 5? I believe your front hubs and u joints are now weaker if you did not upsize to the 5 on 5. Congrats though, I still have the drown on my LJ

Hey Chris, maybe you can get Blaine to chime in here since he is a expert and has solved and seen many of these issues and built many, many, many jeeps.

Yes Chris that would be nice. I thought about going to HP Dana 30....but hard to find one in a yard that is not bent. Bob, IMHO and going with and I agree with your theory, the TT would help F transfer case yoke angle(and/or removable of MML) but raise DS angle due to increased height relative to...

Bob, thank you for the explanation on the TT. That makes since. I forgot the motor mount is fixed and the rear rotates up with a TT. I should have thought about it more before I posted. None the less at least the rest of you have my set up as an example. Also my set up only has harmonic and not...

I have heard of that bearing as well....somewhere buried in a forum..... Also to clarify, I don't have steering wheel vibration...mainly the harmonic drone

I have a 06 LJ 42RLE and got harmonic vibs after regear. It starts at about 62 and is the worst at 67ish. I have 5.13 Revolution Gears, 4" Currie SA, 1"MML, 1"BL, Tummy Tuck on 35s. I have NEW CV drivelines front and rear.I have had them both rebalanced...it is not the wheels and tires. If I...

Sounds like a plan

Bob let me know when you are in Sac, I can join you and swap stories.

For reference, my brand of gears are Revolution. Based on my research, they had the best tolerances and manufacturer is higher quality then average.

Just did Tahoe side Rubicon
