Woohoo! Is the plan still to jump straight to stage 2, or are you starting with stage 1?
Yes, it does. I dislocated a rib last April while installing a child car seat in the back of my jeep (leaned on the car seat too hard while reaching for the latch bracket way down at the bottom of the rear seat). This jeep must hate me.
That picture is a 2-door jeep with 2" lift and factory 29" tires. I have a 2-door jeep with factory 29" tires, and I'm adding a 2" lift. I'm doomed.
I also have very specific tires and wheels picked out already, and I'm not going to compromise just to get bigger tires sooner. I would always be wishing I would have just waited and saved for what I really want.
Not sure the specifics..but the oddest things show up on craigslist. Near me is a brand new set of Duratracs. 3 months ago was a barely used set of 37" KM2s. It does take a bunch of work or a well programmed phone app to find them.
Great write-up. Love the description of all the "wooshes" when driving. I too am looking forward to audio - even though its never the same recorded.
Any hot-spots you've noticed after running hard?
Early driving impressions (based on VERY limited driving time with notoriously inaccurate butt dyno!)...
It "feels" about the same as stock at low rpms, up to somewhere around 2000-2500 rpm.
Somewhere in the 2000-2500 rpm range, it starts "feeling" noticeably quicker.
Around 3000 rpm, the wastegate starts sounding off, and you begin to grin.
Around 3500 rpm, the wastegate is singing it's heart out, you and your passenger start giggling like Beavis and Butthead.
Starting around 4000 rpm, there's no question that you've about doubled how quickly the jeep can accelerate in that range.
The wastegate sound is truly addicting.
I really like how it sounds very quiet and essentially stock while idling and gently driving around town.
