Thanks Looks great!
Do you have the adjustable track bars & longer break lines?? I am assuming you went with a DPG kit??

I have a 2004.5 w/auto which has a Skyjacker 4" front flex lift and I'm running 33" tires on it. All was installed at the dealer, and the speedo was not regeared. I also have not regeared the axles, so I'm still running the 3.73's. I don't have a problem with acceleration/performance, as far as I'm concerned. This isn't a Porsche, but it will accelerate just fine when pulling onto the hiway.
The 30/33 ratio means that my speedometer/odometer read ~10% low (Circ.='pi'Xdia. - dia. increased 10%), so I get 10% more mileage on my warranty. I told the dealer that I'd let them put the new speedo gear in if they wanted, or take the extra warranty mileage if they didn't.
My first action after turning the key when I start it is to turn off the OD. I'll only let the OD out to play on relatively level or downhill hiways at speeds over 60MPH displayed - about 66MPH. Otherwise there is no need, IMO.

Swapping that speedo gear was as easy as changing the oil. And they can be found all over the internet. Here's a good writeup when you're ready: www.stu-offroad.com/engine/speedo/speed1.htmI've also seen threads floating around the Forums that swapping the gear might make the computer smarter about gas consumption. It's a myth. You won't see any mileage difference. I need to try the OD experiment to see if it impact mileage in a good way. My drive is almost completely flat, so I've never tried it without OD. |

Looks good. You have the best color there to. Did you have to put on an adjustable trackbar with the lift? As soon as I added more lift to the front of my OME lift my front axle shifted over about 1 1/2 ".

Here is mine. Rubicon Express 3.5 SF with 1.75" spacers. Running 33's with lots of flex. May go to 34's when these need replacing.  |

Looks great, welcome to the board! I see something red buy the transfer case. Is that a belly up, or a transfer case drop?
