ok, changed my mind. after reading all of the threads on here, i'm guna go with the superchip programmer. i'll order it soon.
i layed down some paint on the red fender ... didn't turn out great. you'd never notice when dirty but not a great finish. now i gota find someone who knows what they are doing.
so i then started drilling holes for the center 4 bolt on the rear bumper ... didn't have a big enough bit ... LAME.
was at that point i was to hot, and tired, and hungry ... came in and watched tv

looks like another 1-2 weeks before my last 2 wheels come in and i can pick up my order!!
on the plus side though, i'll now also be pickin up a superchips programmer with it

go with 5.13's. If you dont want that much gear atleast get 4.88's
i'm a huge fan of more gear, don't get me wrong. but this will be my DD/toy, i have the YJ to beat on. i drive 80mph on my way to work most days, but i can slow that down some. with a 4.88/6spd/35s, i'll be runnin 76mph at 3000RPM. i figure this little mini-van motor shouldn't mind 3k too much, but don't know enough to be confident running 3k all day every day.
and as much as i hate to say it ... but what gear gets the best gas milage with the 35s. the speed limit around here is 55-65 ... but i never drive that slow.
the YJ has 4.56's, 36 IROKs, but a .74 OD and a lot more power from the stroker, and i love how it drives.
maybe once this Poll for the flares ends i'll post a gear Poll ... lets hear your opinions ppl! also need new carriers, these damn 3.21s leave me high and dry there too. i'm pretty sure i'd put a full carrier locker in the rear (i mean WTF ... get a rubi locker and aloy rubi rear shafts while i'm at it
) but i don't see a need to lock the 30. tell ya what ... someone find me some 4.56 or 4.88 Rubi axles and i'll just buy those.
