ahh,
the never ending teenage
'I wanna burn rubber'

Should we have mercy and mention the mod of
how to run the $12 worth of hose & squirt nozzle
from the windshield washer pump to the rear axle,
or
should we let them go out a add $1200
to their never paid off credit card balance
for the 4.56 differential gear change
that will also hit their highway MPG ?

Hey, that's pretty cool! Never heard of that. I wish I would have known that about 20 years ago!

Hey even with my gears I still cant break them loose power braking or otherwise, maybe a chirp if the road is wet, and fyi I still haven't seen a hit in highway mpg after adding them....

I've got a 06 hemi , on mysecond set of rears now. They Will burn off the rims if you got it in your head to do so. Just add a touch of brake peddle.
Speaking of which , anyone know of a good limited slip I could put in. Not looking to change axil in any way. I'd like to leave it in 2wheel more often when the snow flies.

Yep, changing rims & tires is pretty simple. Remember that the tires on your 20s won't fit a different rim, so you'll need new tires as well. http://www.centerlinewheels.com/ and most other websites will allow you to search for rims by vehicle.

mine will light em up easily from a stop. launch at anything above 2k and she'll lay it down for at least 20 feet and will chirp going into third. probably only done maybe three "burnouts" altho i've never held it in the same spot all i've ever done is spin em while pulling out no power brake smoky bad boys.

but i guess having a legitmate transmission makes it possible for me. o and i'm rolling on stock 20's with the wrangler hp's and 3.92 with the LSD

I've gotten my tires to spin on dry pavement when pulling into my friends driveway (taking a right hand turn). It wasn't from a stop, and I don't have the LSD but it wasn't that hard to do. As for trying from a stop, I haven't been able to do that.

is power breaking bad for the brakes or do the brakes full release when you do this??
