Why Oscoda? I mean, it's pretty there, but isn't too much around. Mackinaw Island fudge is the best. Get any Pasties on your way through? I think I like those more than fudge...

Visiting a relative. Had a cooler for pasties but Mrs App decided she’d rather make her own.
OP
Pasties are quite a bit different than pastries. I prefer pasties. I’ll spare you the GIF’s.
This thread is about to lose it's "G" rating.......
Ohhh....Homemade. Nice! My M-I-L makes em too. Been trying to get her to make some for me with Venison, but she says it takes so long to do, she doesn't want to risk them not turning out!
Get yer mind outta the gutter Jeremy. Its Pasties with a short "a" sound...Pahhhstie. No tittie glitter for me!
Looks like a Pennsylvania Pot Pie - without the pot.
For what it’s worth Jeremy I didn’t mind 4.56 at all with the 5 speed and 35s on the street. I just suffered on the trail. But that’s probably not the case for you with the 4:1

I’m doing my best to keep it clean, but you never know what @Apparition is up to.
OP
Thanks for that. Time will tell, if trails would open here I could try one.
So far driving around town accelerating seems normal. Yesterday I even had power in fourth at 2200rpm to make it up a hill. If I change it will be awhile before I do and it would be to 513.
I've always considered them similar to a pot pie.
go to the website on this paper and place an order, you’ll be very happy. I prefer peanut butter fudge myself

In TX I lived in a quaint German tourist town (Fredericksburg). Everyone from Austin and Houston would come from Spring through Fall. They had tons of specialty shops on Main Street (Haupstrasse), everything from a Christmas store to breweries to toy stores. One was Rustlin’ Robs. They had everything you can imagine canned, and FUDGE. They gave out free samples. My fav was always the peanut butter!
4.46x4x4.56=81:1
4.46x4x5.13=91:1
That 4.46 first gear is amazing. 4.56 seems perfectly livable offroad with a 4:1. On road hills will be the real test
I'm at 97:1 and honestly the only reason I would regear is because I'd love to say I'm 100+:1
Then order from Joanne's it's the creamiest fudge I've ever had. Cheap shipping too. Mackinaw is the fudge capital of the world, free samples if you go there.
Took some time to catch up on your build. 35's look good on ya. Welcome to the real TJ club. JK. Your rig looks badass.
OP
Thanks Jason. Looks can be deceiving! She’s just on 35’s. She probably needs some supporting mods. Rear axle shafts for sure.
OP
My front DS was 12.2 and Pinion 9.5, so I only had about 2.5 caster. Steering had dead zones and centering was not so good. I changed my pinion to 6.7 and DS is 12.6, so caster is about 5 now. Steering is firmer, dead zone at speed is gone, return to center much better. No change on vibes. They come on around 67-70. Overall steering is better though. Nice to regain some caster!
