So why are you changing them? They wear out that quickly?

Didn't wear out at all. Click the link in my sig for the control arms for sale to see the Rod End and you can see the difference.


Other than....I wanted all the joints to match...duh.

Default RPM and Speed
I took some quick snaps of the RPMS and Speedometer since the gear (5.13s) change with the 37" tires.

O/D ON 70mph

O/D OFF 70mph

O/D ON 80mph

Name: IMG_20141121_141718279.jpg Views: 37 Size: 3.35 MB



The Grimm Gear Ratio calc seems good comparison -- 2250rpms at 70mph

Looking good as always. I know I have commented once or twice about which gears and RPM's and your truck shows I might even know now and then what I am talking about.

I have watched the episodes 1 and 2. I would not be caught with this bunch at all....lol It was the most made for tv bull****ztah ever. It's the kind of show that you have to keep watching to see the next dumbarse thing. lol

The guy Carl in the red "Super Jeep" is actually a well known fabricator of hybrid differential builds. For example, making D70 gears fit into a D60 housing, called the Jantz 76. Very interesting. However, it pains to see the Super Jeep showing signs of degradation....

I saw about 25 minutes of a episode today and was really shocked at some of the crap they pulled. It is no wonder people who have never been wheeling hate wheelers. You watch these guys and if I wasn't in the know I'd hate them too. I'm surprised that Carl is part of the show. The parts I saw it appeared the Land Rover didn't have lockers and the same was with a few other rigs.
