Speakers to replace factory speakers
I find it odd everyone says they are 6.5 inch speakers. I just replaced my rears. They are 6 3/4 and have a 5 5/8 cutout. I can take pics if you insist otherwise. Best fit will come from a 6 3/4 that won't fit in a 6 1/2 (most say they will fit in both, but you have to look at the cutout...- ozone000

OLD MAN EMU shocks, springs and ????
Ah, you've got the "California Lift" going on! Interesting to see that on a Jeep, usually see that on pickup trucks around here in SoCal. I hit 21 1/4 on the rear with 948 springs, but mine is a limited with armor and I didn't renew the isolators which looked a bit crushed. If I cared about...- ozone000

Improving gas mileage
That's only true for kedge anchors. If you are anchoring your Jeep with a danforth you need to rotate the tires front and back or you'll just be burnin' the gas! I know because my creepy uncle told me 20 years ago. :winner_third_h4h:- ozone000

Lift pics and spec thread
I don't have a lot of miles on it and really didn't even before I renewed the suspension, but the rear seems to bounce considerably more under the same conditions. It feels like the large dips are not damped on the rebound as much as they used to be and the overshoot makes the rear light. If...- ozone000

Improving gas mileage
Racing slicks are not the same as worn tires, though, and rjkj2005 didn't say racing slicks gave better gas mileage, just that (semi) truck tires, when worn, give better gas mileage. I cannot attest to the truth as I know little about commercial truck tires. I'm just pointing out that you...- ozone000

Lift pics and spec thread
I agree with the tires, I think its the 17" wheels that make the difference. Either that or the fact that I overexposed the photo a bit to allow for a better image of the tire inside the wheel well, making it look bigger. It has been aligned as it was nearly undriveable, but it will...- ozone000

Lift pics and spec thread
So the only thing I replaced was the springs with OME 927/948 and shocks with Bilsteins. Since I haven't seen too many pics with this setup on a Limited with stock 235/65R17s I thought I'd post mine. On the first pic is a "before" with the rear stuffed a bit. I didn't take a driveway pic of...- ozone000

Improving gas mileage
Of course those numbers are imperial gallons, so they translate to 16 city and 23 highway (rounding down for both). The most effective improvement for mpg is to adjust the nut behind the wheel. If you don't know what adjustments to make, go to 100+ Hypermiling / ecodriving tips & tactics for...- ozone000

Need new front springs...
Maybe you don't hit big dips in a curved highway on-ramp at 65 mph as often as I do. I'm from the Midwest too and never saw these kinds of roads before I moved out here. Massive, curving, concrete bridges linking two 5 lane freeways. No potholes, but the heat warps them sometimes. Almost...- ozone000

Need new front springs...
So after alignment and a day of driving on and off road I can say this: Whoever thinks the 927/948 combo is too harsh should never buy a BMW. I was expecting between firm and harsh with the OME/Bil combo but it feels and drives (on the road) like a friggin' Cadillac. I'm sure some would like...- ozone000

Need new front springs...
Finished the install today, everything came apart and went back together without issue, though I found it odd that the Bilstein spring perch wouldn't actually go over the shock unless I removed the sticker. Regarding some of my earlier questions, Bilstein does not properly measure the front...- ozone000

What did you do to your jeep today?
Did 3/4 of an OME/Bilstein install. Front Bilsteins won't come until tomorrow, but I have more time today than I will all next week so I thought I'd get a head start. Went really smooth, no problems at all.- ozone000

Need new front springs...
So it looks like I'm getting the front shocks straight out of the Bilstein factory! Everywhere says it's backordered still, but I've got a package from THYSSENKRUPP BILSTEIN OF AMERI out of Kannapolis, NC due on the 10th. Hope it's not just a bunch of stickers... Nah, if it was stickers it'd...- ozone000

Help for tires size choice
Please help me understand the pinion reset regarding tire size and transmission function. I've seen people say that it makes the tranny work at the correct speeds, but most times it's not even mentioned or mentioned only in terms of speedo calibration. It also doesn't seem to be an option in ABS...- ozone000

What did you do to your jeep today?
Replaced PCV, turned out it was really bad and likely the cause of the occasional puff of blue smoke on startup, ran a can of SeaFoam through the engine while I had the PCV off, seems to have improved the catalytic efficiency a bit though could have been the PCV. Changed front axle fluid and...- ozone000

If there is supposed to be a piece that holds the glass to the plastic by inserting through the hole in the glass then I can tell you now that it is missing. Having one there would help tremendously.- ozone000

What did you do to your jeep today?
Replaced the tire that got destroyed by a bad alignment by the PO. Other tires are 80%, this one was 10%-0% depending on where you measure (toe issue). I'd rather not replace just one tire, but didn't want to throw out the other which is nearly brand new. Got a new key cut, now have the normal...- ozone000
