Did the sensor make all the difference?I bet 456 gears would be scary.

The throttle position sensor made a huge difference. Like pouring a can of Whoop A$$ in the fuel tank. I'm pretty sure Randy has 4:56 gears in his. I can only imagine.............

PS... Got it up to 100 MPH for the first and last time. It wasn't a problem at all except I need to change my underwear now. I don't know how fast it will go but Stump Jumper seemed to have plenty left in it.

I would be scared to death to drive mine that fast. I was a little worried after the new gears and hitting 80.
 
I've had mine up around 100mph. Havent done it since either. Little different for me since mine is rolling on 1 tons and 37s!!
So awesome... I really need to get mine dyno tuned.
 
I had mine up to 120 once. Have had it at 100 several times. Not lately though... now that the tires have some wear patterns it feels a bit sloppier, and I guess I'm a bit older and smarter...

CB I take 3 or 4 dips in my pool every day and always before showering. I'm a mid night skinny dipper. I know, too much information.
 
Someone asked about flat towing with th NP 241C transfer case a few pages back and I came across this on a GM based forum today,

"NP 241 and 243 equipped vehicles can be flat towed by putting the automatic transmission in PARK and the transfer case in NEUTRAL. Leaving the transmission in neutral will allow it to be turned by frictional drag from the transfer case and since the transmission pump will not be operational - that would not be a good thing.

The transfer case has it's own lube pump that operates any time the rear driveshaft is turning (think pump rub). So as long as the t-case pump is good, and you would already know if it wasn't, and the t-case has the proper level of the proper lube, you are OK to flat tow with the t-case in neutral."
There you have it.
 
Latest additions to Stump Jumper for the "Back the Blue" and hot sunny days.
That's a 7'x 10' umbrella. Maybe I should rename the Jeep Mary Poppins. ????

I agree, X2! But what the heck's up with the Turkey Rat Rod? Do you actually call birds in with that thing?

Regardless, I love it. LOL

I built that thing over ten years ago. It was my remote control Turkey decoy long before the big companies ever thought of building one. I built it out of a crawler and I even installed a wireless camera so I could monitor places I couldn't see otherwise. It would work out to about 500 yards but my biggest problem with it was the huge cow patties that tended to flip it over. I would have put a turkey call on it but electronic turkey callers were illegal here at the time. Even the tail opened and closed on it. Gobblers just couldn't resist that thing. I still drive passers by crazy with that thing. I'm a sick, sick man.

Yes the decoy was 4WD and it had front and rear steer. More engineering went into the decoy than into my Jeep. I did a motor and drive gear swap, differential gears were changed and I even had to change the viscosity of the shock absorber oil a couple times to get it to work right. Any one can buy a decoy only a select few can build their own Turkey. LOL

I think you just wrote your Tomb stone


 
This is what my drive home looked like today and it's only going to get worse this week. 5 to 10 more inches coming. Yes, I'm in my Hummer and not Stump Jumper. I'm not going to put SJ through that. LOL As you can see my shop is high and dry. The water will never get that high.
