I finished the swap about 7:00 on a Sunday evening. I took
a quick dip in the pool ( it was about 104) and invited the wife for a ride.
We had hardly made it out of the drive and I knew something was wrong. I was
very disappointed because I KNEW I had done everything right. I thought maybe
the trans I got was bad. After another
100 yards it hit me. A quick u-turn and a run in the garage ,and I was under
the dash. I had to plug in the TCU I
had left on the work bench. Boy, I felt like an idiot! Back out of the drive and down the
street we went. Of course I had the largest smile on my face. The TJ drives fantastic now. I love the way
this thing shifts. It is smooth and very responsive. The TJ drives great. I’ve got a slight
vibration but I think my boys may have separated the rear drive shaft while
it was out.. I will have that rebalanced. I also have the service engine
light on. I’m getting no codes so it may be something left in the TCU from
the accident the xj was in. I will take it and have it cleared later this
week. This is without a doubt one of the coolest mods you can do to your
TJ. I now feel like I can tackle almost anything. Bring on
the Long Arms! Note:
When doing the research for this project
I was told to keep the lift at or under 4.5 inches because of the
shorter drive line. I plan to make up for this by installing a shorter
transfer case. I was thinking of going with an Atlas II until I learned that
I could get even more room and spend less by getting a used Dana 300 and
using a flip kit. If you have questions or if I forgot
something, please
email me. |
