    Do nitto tires pull left?

    Just put on nitto 35x1250x17 trail grapplers and now I am getting a left pull. I also replaced my tie rod, but this should not cause a directional pull. I have read other forums that this may be due to the tires. My previous MTRs did not pull, my alignment is to spec.

    Stumptaco's has gone over to the darkside..XJ style.

    Nice shop, looks very clean and extremely organized. My father just got CNC in his shop, productivity skyrocketed obviously. What do you do for a living?

    This time for sure: 2012 Wrangler gets Pentastar V6, 5 speed auto

    I agree. My 3.8 is anemic, however I regeared to 513 and have a manual, so it is tolerable now. Ive driven the pentastar, its ok. Its a nice drive in the new Cherokee, however, we all know that Chrysler is going to tune it for the Wrangler. I honestly dont think that Jeep will ever bring a...

    Jeep JK steering shimmy

    Allright, I unloaded, dropped PSI down to 28, and the shakes happened. Running GY MTR 35x1250x17, load C, Max cold 35psi. The higher PSI, it appears less shimmy. Going to try and inch up the psi and see what happens.

    Jeep JK steering shimmy

    I dont think it is the balljoints, just replaced with dynatrac prosteers. I have checked every joint, appears to be working normally. All suspension components were tightened with vehicle on the ground and are checked frequently with a calibrated torque wrench to spec. My hunch is out of...

    Jeep JK steering shimmy

    It appears that I get a shimmy/shake between 60-70mph, and it only happens when I am weighted down with cargo. Its also intermittant, it will happen for a mile or two, then stop for a while. Any thoughts?

    5.13 or 4.88??? Please Help.

    That sounds like a perfect set up. My milage went up also. But I still drive like grandpa after the break in.

    5.13 or 4.88??? Please Help.

    I wonder what 5.38 would have been like with that trailer. Your RPMs at 70 would be still less than 2700. But that is moot, since, and I think, your front axle was a dana 30. I think 538 for D30 just came out. Talk about a tiny pinion gear:Wow1: I agree the 3.8 sucks, but that auto trans...

    You can keep your stock driveshaft on. Just keep an eye on it.

    5.13 or 4.88??? Please Help.

    I could probably name at least 10 occurances that I know of. I think is is mostly rubi tcases, and maybe one atlas. It is allways the same speed, around 60-75mph.

    Would you mind elaborating on that? Interesting.

    5.13 or 4.88??? Please Help.

    Im sorry I did not explain myself. With the higher RPMs of the driveshaft with the gear swap, a factor of 1.25 from 4.10 to 5.13, it is increasingly necessary to align the pinion with the driveshaft. The double carden is really considered a "near CV joint". You could take a rzeppa and run it...

    5.13 or 4.88??? Please Help.

    5.13 in combination with a double carden driveshaft, with a 3+ lift=transfer case detonation. It is difficult to get the pinion aligned correctly and still keep it driveable.

    5.13 or 4.88??? Please Help.

    Im running 5.13 on a fairly heavy JKU and drives very nice. The 4.10 was brutal. With the weight of your vehicle and the trailer that is what I would consider. Now with 5.13, and if you have an after market driveshaft you can run into tcase issues. As far as gas milage, mine stayed around...
