FYI, the frame color is matched perfect with Krylon Semi-Flat.I'm not sure about the gear ratio, I haven't checked it yet. I'm assuming it is just on what the mpg were with the 31/10.5-15s. I'll check it soon and/or remover the diff cover to see what it looks like in there.
As far as other upgrades, I'm about to replace the rear bumper so I can get that heavy W/T off the tailgate and there is a part of the frame back there that needs some surface rust removed and a little rattle can love. After that I'm sure I will play it by ear and at least get what I need to hit the trails the way I want too. I'm never done with anything I have. I still have to old cars in the garage and a truck in the driveway.
Nice looking LJ! It is always interesting inspecting the Jeep and seeing the weird S that previous owners have done. Mine didn't have any parking brake assemblies, which why you would remove that is beyond me..
Do you know where you want to go with it long term? I find having a path to guide you on helps out a lot
I have a print out on what it came with from the factory, I just meant to check and see if the gears had been changed by one of the previous owners.FYI, the frame color is matched perfect with Krylon Semi-Flat.
Not sure what you’re planning for rear bumper and tire carrier, but they are very expensive and just about every one I have seen has problems. I prefer the Moryde/Exogate. It will handle up to a 35 easy and is much lighter. It also allows you to open the tailgate as normal and without the additional step of unlocking the mechanism from the bumper to swing it out, and then the tailgate separately. It’s also only $329 and then you have a lot more bumper options.
There is often a small strip of metal on the diff cover bolts that list your gear ratio.
Thanks for the info. I don't have a soft top yet we just took it off for the weekend and then put it back on. I'll keep that tip in mind.MOELove the LJ! Got a black one myself. I see you do not have door surrounds be careful when shutting the doors, don't smash them too hard until you get the surrounds as the flex in the door & window frame can make them crack there
If you have never had a Jeep in the summer , you are going to to really enjoy this summer .
