I have the problem with the auto trans shifting in and out of overdrive at highway speeds. I have the Superchips and this did help, but it's still there. This is why I have decided to go with 4.56 gears when I get the money... by the way, I run a 33" tire.

If the trans goes out between then, thats why I have the unlimited want.

Welcome back Jason (and Emily). Glad to see you came back to the Jeep side. Do you still have your Challenger or did you trade it in on the Mango machine? And as for that anniversary, I had to go all the way back to page 38 to find these:

Aahhhh yes, the Special 5th Anniversary Mud Pit Celebration Ride

For those that might not have noticed yet, one can see some of the navy blue jacket that bama JK's wife was wearing in the upper left of the below pic. And note, that's her left shoulder splattered with mud, and it was more "protected" being closer to the center of the JK and furthest from a window.

I think bama was able to "create" this special memorable moment by following these simple easy steps:

1) Park JK in mud pit.
2) Hit gas hard.
3) Use steering wheel to fan front spinning wheels back and forth.
4) Savor the high whinning sound of spinning tires, and roar of the engine.
5) Enjoy mud raining down inside vehicle, and cheers of the crowd.
6) Remember wife, and look to see if she is enjoying the moment as much as . . . Uh, Oooohh.
7) Remind wife how lucky she is to be sharing 5th anniversary with you, and beg forgiveness.



Actually, on the way back to Huntsville, we all stopped and grabbed a quick meal - bama and wife seemed to be doing fine.
Emily seems like a real trooper, hang on to her bama!!

I wish santa would bring me a supership. One like this. One day I will own (and probably break) one of these.

and I saw a couple of sweet 2 doors the last couple of days. I saw a silver one on the interstate, black wheels, and black writing on the door (was to far away to read what it said). And today coming through the gate there was a white one, wheels, small lift, and mismatched spare. Anyone we know?

i have no doubt if you own one of these, you'd break it......i grew up in miami lots and lots of these things there, and 100mph on water, is scary!
