In between all this I decided to change this up a bit…. I’m not happy with the corners and the amount of storage underneath.

A! O! I may act offended!
Time to operate, I can finally justify a 1/2” impact and a bigger dead blow hammer to pull ring gear, I guess the s/n is under the ring gear? Carrier bearings toast, axle bearings as well. Add bearing puller to the list. I can’t not do much more until I get my fun money the 3rd. Darn, all good, I can tinker with other stuff.
Oh boy I'm not sure where to even start with that one.
Mine is also an '05. It was my first foray into boosting a previously naturally aspirated engine and doing any kind of tuning. I never liked the way the fuel timing computer Boosted Tech provides worked. Eventually it started flaking out and running lean then quit altogether. I turned to tuning the factory PCM using HPTuners and running bigger injectors but the intake temps are just too high running a roots blower bolted directly to the intake. I now run meth injection to cool the charge air and it's still almost too hot.
I don't want to be a downer or discourage you but my honest advice would be to sell the boosted tech kit and make it somebody else's problem. And if you're really set on a boost build, go turbo or procharger. Something where you can run a proper front mount intercooler. Or skip all of the above and just do a stroker. If you're set on the boosted tech kit maybe install it as intended with the 7th injector but I'd want to install a wideband o2 sensor and boost gauge so you can at least see that it's enriching properly. Maybe you'll have better luck than me. Definitely mount the fuel/timing computer in the interior somewhere. And maybe ignorance is bliss with the IAT. I never would have known the charge air was so hot with the setup the way Boosted Tech runs it. I moved the temp sensor to the aluminum bucket between the supercharger and the intake manifold. The supercharger heats up the air massively. Those roots blowers are hot to begin with, not to mention the reverse flow nature of the 4.0 head It's just too much. And that little plastic Fenner Drive pulley they provide for the belt is garbage.
I also think if I were to do it over I'd just run an aftermarket engine management system like a Link or Haltech. That's what I'm in the process of doing with my old Celica now. Then you can find somebody local who's well versed in tuning those systems and can put it on a dyno.
As much as I like the supercharged Jeep and the blower whine and everything, any time somebody asks me if it was worth it the answer is no.
I finally received
my new seats from PRP after some confusion on there end
I am a little confused with ARB instruction manual about a grinding op for improved lube flow. This manual is for Dana 35 27 spl, do not think it would be different for a 30 spl. But it refers Dana 44 illustrations for this op. Nothing seems to be done here. Is it my guess the documentation department got lazy and used 44 illustrations in place. Should I grind as illustrated? Probably should the way it looks. Manual also refers to using a spreader. I didn’t see the use of one in BFH video. Popped out without too much effort.

My wife made her first mod to my Jeep this evening...
Went out for a shack down after some tinkering this last week. Found some good rocks to play around on and observed Rocker Panel Pass for another day. Water was no longer in this wash and we found lots of rocks to play on.
