Yep, I have one too (in my CJ8) and same opinion. Used to run a spool. They do still push a little in the snow. I also run a Detroit in the front axle.

Sweet set-up! Keep us posted on how it works out long term.

Thanks for your input! I have been pondering the this point as well.... "If you go with a good 3" lift, you can grow your Jeep with out modifying the suspension. " One of the beauties of the JK....lots of options thanks to the fender flare design and available after-market pieces.

Knowing a lot of us are Jeep nuts and have more than one Jeep...I thought I check in here about JKU lift kits. Not to mention I trust you guys a lot more on this site than the average Jeep site. After some on-line research I am considering a small lift kit for our 2014 JKU. Most miles are on...

Glad to hear your crew is getting back to their "new normal". Just unimaginable what some went and are still going through.

Sorry to hear of your loss. Hang in there! Understand your sorrow, we've been through it twice and will be again some day.

Sounds like we all eat a lot of P, B & J!

Pure Awesome

Tower, Not sure I ever have mentioned it...but that is a great looking Scrambler! Love the color and the Scrambler decal on the hood...reminiscent of the old renegade emblems

Sorta like the upper roll cage hoop extended giving it a "visor" look like the old gladiators...

Great idea and awesome execution!

Looks like a great start to an awesome project! Good luck and happy wrenching.

1st vehicles are sweet, especially when they were a Jeep.....mine was a '46 CJ-2A...still have it and use it regularly!

Yep, nice set-up! One question/comment....not sure if it has been mentioned to date yet, but one thing I miss from the old format is the members' location in the avatar field....as in city/state.

Yes, I think the NV3550 has a slightly lower 1st gear, but not enough to be noticeable. Either trans is fine, the AX15's are probably more plentiful. You do want to stay away from the early AX15's with the internal slave cylinder. I cannot recall the year where it changed to an external, but...

I agree on the gears....I run 3.73's with a 33" tire. They were good a good compromise on/off-road with the T-176 for my use. Only complaint was on the freeway. I usually stayed on the hwy vs. the freeway and ran 60mph. Now Michigan has increased a lot of hwys here up north to 65mph...so...

Nice! Is that one of the "water brake" dyno's? Looks like a fun project.

Just a quick comment on the T-177....It is just as reliable as an AX-15. The T-176/177, AX-15 & NV3550 all have similar input torque ratings. The only real advantage of the AX-15 is the overdrive. That being said, I just swapped out a T-176 for an NV-3550...only for the overdrive. I ran the...

I pretty much agree with everything stated above (I am running a 401 currently and have run AMC V8's forever) , but here are a few comments anyway: 1. Another transmission option is an NV3550 or AX-15 if you want an overdrive. I just swapped in a NV3550 and have a write up about it in the...

19 degrees advance....did you have any detonation? Just a theory...but I suppose having been that far advanced, detonation could rock the piston and rings and cause excessive combustion chamber pressures pushing crankcase pressures up....
