    What is the official design speed for a TJ?

    No. The available top speed with increase because the engine will have the leverage to push those tires.

    Daily Driver, Go Where I Want To Build

    42rle for the last few years. The extra power does a lot to minimize the irritating aspects of this transmission. Though, I do still run around town with OD off because the shift points into 3rd are nicer.

    Daily Driver, Go Where I Want To Build

    Its been a few weeks since the initial install of the supercharger. At this point I can still say that the Boosted Tech kit is seamless and invisible aside from there now being power to accelerate and maintain speed where there wasn't before. I have fully removed it two times sorting out a...

    I refuse to build my TJ the way you built your Jeeps and drag cars back in the 1960s. 😉

    2024 JL-R-X > 2025 Gladdy and now A TJ-R

    Sounds like a problem better addressed with shocks and actual jounces. Fortunately I know a few things about suspension. Do understand that I am baiting you to keep defending silly things with long explanations. 🤣

    Ok. I won't be using tennis balls. I never understood why anyone would stuff those inside coil springs.

    Tworley build

    Its nice not having to wrestle with the Jeep. Now you can focus more on driving and controlling it. The hydro assist is a similar improvement to an automatic. Might need a bigger steering gear and pump to handle the cylinder.

    Injury from soft shackle failure

    Whatever you have or haven't seen changes nothing about the foundational premise that reducing the weight of the rigging will always improve the safety in the event of a failure. Do that first and then you can drape any makeshift wishful thinking parachute you want to over the rope.

    What is the official design speed for a TJ?

    Mine has been above 90mph several times throughout it's evolution. I haven't run the numbers, but I wouldn't be surprised is it is gear limited to a slower speed these days, though I have briefly done 85 a couple times recently.

    Injury from soft shackle failure

    The first problem with blankets and dampers is that you do not know where the rope or cable will break for you to know where best to hang the damper. The second problem is that the recoiling rope will pass right through the damper like the magic table cloth trick. Nothing gets tangled in the...

    Motor mount lift & body lift - what order?

    The body lift give you a place to shove the engine upwards. Both need to be in place before the raised belly.

    Savvy off-road sold? (the unofficial Savvy customer support and Savvy rant thread)

    This is my FluxOR bumper. All my Savvy stuff is also t6. All the years of discussing how the Savvy stuff is fabricated and why that matters is centered around it being fabricated from t6.

    Savvy off-road sold? (the unofficial Savvy customer support and Savvy rant thread)

    The simple answer is that bend is a gusset to help stop the deck from bending during a winch pull. The double layering from the fairlead mount was done to prevent the same problem.
