I parked my Jeep, came out 20 minutes later, and it was deader than Abe Lincoln. No lights, no clicking, nothing. It was as if the battery was gone. I cleaned the connections at the battery, an it fired up.

4.88

Your axle should be fine with 35,s, but you definitely should go with 4.88 gears, maybe even 5.13. That being said, and since I have 35,s with 4.88, I would stay with 33,s. 35,s are "cool" but even with proper gearing, the Jeep is a stone. In my opinion, the 4.0, although a great motor, just...

With that trans. and 35,s, and the front Dana 30, it's not possible to gear it correctly. 5.13 is the limit. You could go with those gears, and go to 33,s.

Those grills pretty much take the cake, but as far as ridiculous trends, a close second is the phony stick- on Buick holes.

From what I've seen, the real goofy LED,s usually seem to be paired with an angry birds grill...... especially on JK,s.

5.13-5.38

Any good oil filter, and 5000 mi. Oil change. I would not run any oil for 25000 miles. The additive package might hold up, but the oil is still getting dirty at the same rate any other oil is.

I would stick with 33,s, Super 35 kit w/ Detroit locker, Aussie locker up front, 2.5" OME lift, 1.25 body lift, automatic trans. 5.13 gears.

A lot of these shops work on big v-8 , or diesel pickups with light years more toque than the 4.0 Jeep . They should know they're dealing with a 242 cu.in. motor that needs to wound up tight to do anything.

383 Chevy stroker.... fuel injected. Great torque, horsepower, cheap to maintain.

A stock air box with a paper filter will provide better filtration. The other things you have don't help anything performance wise, but I don't know if they hurt anything.

I got a stock air box from a 4x4 shop for $30.00, sold the Volant CAI that was on my Jeep when I bought it for $150.00 on Craig's list, and bought beer to celebrate. Absolutely no difference in power or fuel economy going with the stock box with an AC Delco filter, just less dirt getting into...

It's not a matter of opinion. There's no way 35,s with a.69 overdrive, is turning over 3000 rpm at 70 mph with 5.38 gears, unless maybe the overdrive is turned off.

5.38, or nothing with your set up. 4.88 will suck, 5.13 not as bad, 5.38 perfect. Keep in mind, when getting your axles re-geared, suck, not as bad, and perfect all cost the same. Find another shop if this guy won't give you what you want, or warranty his work.

The shop that did the 4.10, s in my CJ-7 said to stop for a few minutes every ten miles for the first 100 miles. After that , let it eat, but, he was very adamant about the ten miles, even though my work was only twelve miles away.

I had the freeze plug on the back of the cylinder head leak at 113,000 miles. I pulled the transmission to get to it about 2 months after i had it off to replace the clutch. Change them out while it's easy.

Keep your tires small, and don't waste money on exhaust, or air intakes. jP magazine did a bunch of bolt on mods to a 4 cyl. Jeep. When they were done, they picked up a few horsepower at redline, but lost torque. It actually felt slower. At the end of the write up, they said, live and learn...

I have a 4x4 foot piece of plywood that I put down under the drain pan. Prevents all but the biggest mishaps.

Freeze plugs. Piece of cake while the motor is out.
