Have some in Salisbury

Have a matching non c-clip D35 for a YJ with 4.10s. Buy both and for a cheap and easy regear!
-
Not to mention a dealer will not know you have regeared unless you have a differential issue.

Stopped playing Gilligan on the boat and finally lifted the JK...

07-09 (I think 09 but may have been 08) has a syncro problem where the trans would not seat fully into 1st and pop out of gear. Jeep made an updated part and would replace it under the powertrain warranty.
On the 12s there is a TSB out regarding one of the shift boots not allowing 2, 4, 6, and R to seat and pop out of gear. Tell your dealer to run the VIN and see if the TSB is on your vehicle, if so that may fix the popping out of gear issue. I had them fix mine because it popped out of 2nd (mostly while cold though).

Anyone have ATVs other than their Jeeps?
Just picked up a Brute Force last night. -
I have one. No rot but has some rust on the underside. Located in Salisbury

Nice...She got up and out of the water with a quickness. Got a 4 blade on there now?
That is still the stock 3 blade actually. I may not end up changing the prop at all. With two of us she got up fairly fast, and with 1 person and weight in the boat it still pops right now. Impressive little boat. -
GoPro decided to cut off less than a minute into it but got to ride double today at the end of the day!

Sat was a bit crazy. We were down in OC with the boat and it was pretty strong out there as well.

Most of the time while boarding it is just 3 of us. Bought the bags because I can pump in and out water to adjust the weight to get some better wake. Both bags will never be full but allow us to put weight where it is needed. Tomorrow we'll have 6 people on the boat so they wont get used at all, but Sunday it will most likely be 3 people so they'll get used.
As for the prop, right now it has a 21p 3 blade. Still got up decently pulling a big guy up. If I find a good deal on a 4 or 5 blade in 19ish pitch I'll test it out. I figure worst case I can swap props depending on what we plan on doing. Cruising just stick on the 3 blades, boarding all day and stick on a 4 blade. -
1,100 of ballast
Boat is rated for 1,100 pounds so they will never be completely full. After boarding with 6 adults on board realized how much better that wake was! -
Yeah that's what I had. 175 hp I think! I liked it but it's a little slow out of the hole to make it a GREAT tow boat. Great first boat though and my buddy still runs my 97'.You know what pitch prop you have. I ended up getting a new prop and it helped a lot for hole shots.
Right now it has the factory 3 blade. I am most likely going to swap on a 4 blade 17p to help get on plane faster for wake boarding. Also going to add a 550 ballast sac in the front bow floor and another 550 under the rear seats. -
