Giving the jeep some tlc.
4.88 gears and grizzly locker in the front. Tooled up and did gears myself Found the hammer drill can work wonders driving carrier bearing races off. In fith the rrrrs are now just shy of 3000 at 65. Thing goes very slow in 4low all around drives better around town. With 33-35" tire its perfect.

Actually bought these for the wheels so I can weld in jeep centers. Will play with them on the pickup for a month or so while I round of parts to make them jeep wheels. There h1 12 bolt bead locks. I've got to remove the 40lbs of runflat from each wheel. These are heavy with the run flats in Itl get old quickly running 37s but I figure maybe I'll play with them for a few just cause

My high idle has forcsome reason been work this season. Smarty turned it on. I think factory high idle stays even when smarty is removed

7x.009 or 8x.0085?
What did you decide on? I'm with the other guys that youl likely not notice any difference. I dont know what turbo your running if its stock or near stock and you tow you will have drive buy the egt gauge and moderate pedal accordingly. My 7x009 sac ducky injectors have worked well for 100k or more. Over half that on the hy35 pedaling off Temps while towing. 62 turbo has transformed it it a cool running mash the pedal to floor and forget it kinda truck. Im not on the tune Temps through computer game. I like to get mechanical and go from there. Enough fuel and air to run cool no programmer needed Guess I just need to read. Why you pinching pennies on injectors. If a few bucks that big an issue the truck will likely run on the stock injectors for the length of our lives. However mine payed for themselves in increased fuel mileage very quickly Let us know of how they turned out.

HE351W on sale
I accidentally orderd a 3rd gen short actuator 4.4" outlet turbo. I got it on but its far from bolt on. This turbo seems to be riding this territory

Stock Ride Height (springs)
Soon as you said your truck drives weird my mind went to castor settings. Weird and wandering in my mind go hand in hand. I'd adjust castor more positive if castor washers aren't already maxed out on the positive. Then test drive she if it improves or stays the same.

Heater core
Wasn't as horrible as I thought. probly an hour to get it out. I am reinstalling with heater hose adapters. Instead of tearing the truck apart more. I may see if i can finangle the swivel lines through but on a quick look in the dark I don't think they go without do the other 3hours of disassembly

T steering upgrade or no?
I do believe the pitman arm taper is different. I know fir sure 2002 is the correct taper. Not sure on the other years. It will bolt together in the wrong taper but uts not seated like it should be

Quadzilla and new 7x9s
Driving a big rig teaches pedal. I guess i do agree with 0-100 in that since. Ounce and done. If aut also make sure it dhuftd at or very near 3000rpm
-
Quadzilla and new 7x9s
I dissagree if pedal is rarely ever pushed to the floor why would I care what smke or power is there. A wire tapped quad with 7x009 has the potential to power through a stock clutch or auto trans . Exspecly from a stop.

Giving the jeep some tlc.
Fabbed some long arms and ohh man ride is amazing. Literally night and day better. I did 3link arms are 31" long instead of the 15" from the factory. The jeep guys call this a midterm but its a long mid arms. These arms are about 8" longer than jeeps coming off the showroom floor today.

Sound like a boost leak ?

Turbo to tail pipe
I think it would be waist of time money to upgrade turbo to anything less than a 62 62 68 12 paired with 150 injectors. Muffled by the long fte twister muffler. Your choice of 4 or 5" The semi mufflers are more likely to hve rust problems then the twister mufflers because the packing traps moisture Your truck will then make you grin ?
