Right now i'm only on 31's with 3.55's and it definitely has room to grow. I feel like the gearing would be fine for 32's definitely and probably 33's. right now i can run 35 mph in sixth gear at about 1100-1200 rpm and still accelerate without it bogging.

The difference in gearing between the two. AX15 Input Torque Rating: 300 ft. lbs. 1st 3.83 2nd 2.33 3rd 1.44 4th 1.00 5th 0.79 Rev 4.22 NSG-370 Mfg. Input Torque Rating: 272 ft. lbs. 1st 4.46 2nd 2.61 3rd 1.72 4th 1.25 5th 1.00 6th 0.84 Rev 4.06

I bet your right, i hadn't even thought about the pressure the auto trans was building. That's probably the difference. So, there probably isn't any difference in the tuning between auto and manual computers

Also, the ECM. I bought a ECM out of a manual cherokee of the same year. You don't really have to do this from what i've read but if you don't, you will get a bunch trouble codes and a permanent Check engine light. Although i can tell a difference between to two computers. The manual seems to...

I probably have $2500 in everything. I bought a lot of the more expensive stuff to do mine. You could probably shave a good bit off of that if you could luck up and find some of this stuff at the local pick-n-pull. For example, i went to the dealership for stuff like the shift knob, CPS, wire...

Earlier this year i converted my 2001 automatic 4wd XJ to a 6 speed manual (the NSG-370 from 05-06 wrangler). I figured there might be a few people that would like some info about doing this kind of swap. So, I'm going to list a few things that worked and some things that i had trouble with...

I have searched high and low and am finally giving in. Does anyone have the part numbers for 2001 XJ ECU's? I have a automatic and I am doing a manual trans swap. I need to get a ECU for a manual so that I don't get 30 Check engine codes when I take out the TCU. I have searched everywhere...

I have the 2 inch OME lift kit on my XJ and I am very pleased with it. I'm sure you will be too. The ride is great, just like factory in my opinion.

I have OME lift springs currently on my jeep and I just got a set of OME 3-5 inch lift shocks. Right now it's sitting at about 2-2.5 inches of lift with stock shocks and I plan on goin up another inch and a half in the very near future. Would it be ok to go ahead and put the shocks on even if...

Thanks for the input. I think im gonna go with the medium's because i really don't tow much or haul anything heavy. I'm sure the mediums will be more than adequate for what i do.

I'm about to purchase a set of Old Man Emu rear leaf springs. I can't decide whether to buy the medium springs or the heavy springs. I don't want to buy the heavy springs if they are going to be really stiff. I do tow a little bit hear and there but don't really haul alot every day. I guess i...

I ordered a fog light switch and extended idle switch and they came in today. My jeep is an 01 and it has a wiring plug for the fog light switch but didn't come with factory fogs so the wiring isn't there under the hood. That's really not a big deal because i'm gonna make my own wiring harness...

Nice pics

That sucks, Hope you get it goin soon.

Did anyone make it to uwharrie this weekend. If so, Got any pics?? I'm pretty sure this weekend was the last weekend its open for the winter. I really wanted to go, but I had to work. My friend went with his 4runner and hasn't made it back yet becuase of some bad luck. He sliced one of his...
