Looking for some tires to put this beast back on the road! That's right baby

Now maybe you'll come join us for Jeep night if they have one local again.

 

[VOLT]

Yep. Keep an eye out for some 37s for me.

 

[VOLT]

For Looks Brah. Don't be quizzing.

I loved the feel of the aftermarket wheel in the #BlewTJ. Especially over the early model Jeep wheel. And that beeotch has the bling bling.

 

[VOLT]

This one feels great and came with another spacer that I stacked onto the other one to space the wheel out perfect from the wiper switch. Probably added a few horsepower also.

Looks good. Even has the go fast reference line

 

[VOLT]

I removed all of the smog stuff and put a larger KN filter without all of the 90 degree bends that I had with the old cowl induction. This setup really opened the throttle up. Major difference. I also had no more sputtering. I took it to Gulches Sat and it worked great. I don't know what or if anything that I did cured the sputtering. It may be an altitude thing as it usually only gets run in the mountains.

Damn. Where were these when I had money.

 

[VOLT]

Rear 30 spline chromo 60 shaft. They both look this way.

Impressive.

 

[jimbo92]

Time for a 14 bolt

 

[Shilohsho]

That's pretty.

 

[WolfGT]

I have a feeling they won't last much longer. Warranty?

 

[LBarr2002]

I have always heard that chromos don't yield like that. Stock shafts would twist, chromos would just break. But, that's the third chromo I've seen twisted like that lately...

 

[VOLT]

Yeah they are under warranty but I would have to break it first. I'm just going to roll with it for now. I cant tell if the stock ones are yielded because the splines stop right as they exit the Detroit. I know I wheeled the Jeep the same way on the stock shafts.

 

[VOLT]

Only a few trips on these too. Maybe 5.

Chromo's will absolutely yield like that.



And Nick, I am telling you....clutch dump it till they break and get some new ones.

 

[matth_85]

Isnt it the opposite? Chromos are supposed to twist right before breaking right?

That's what I thought also. A stock shaft will disintegrate as it twists like that. A chromo will typically have a clean break though.

 

[VOLT]

Haha. My whole Jeep would disintegrate if I clutch dump it.
