No shit, Sherlock. That’s what I’m responding to. Just to make sure you get it, The Lion King is a movie romanticizing leaders who eat their adoring subjects. I find that ironic.

I bet it’ll be a smash!

My son just bought a 2018 JLUR and wants to go to Moab Labor Day Weekend. Looks like I’ve got a deadline to get Gypsy back on her wheels. The plan is to -Truss front & rear axles & powder coat -Install new 4.88s in the rear -High steer knuckles -Install a PSC hydraulic assist ram -Tougher diff...

Give your daughter our congratulations! That's a fine looking pup. How old is he and what breed. He looks high speed/low drag Is the cage a good one and worth all the trouble?

I don’t need no steenkeeng brakes. I use engine compression and gears to retard unwanted forward motion. It’s what men of iron will and grit do

As I don’t know what I don’t know about locks & keys, I’d ask the locksmith what your options are

Awesome project. Even better that it was your father’s. I love the two door wide track Cherokees, especially with the 401. They’re beasts and will go anywhere! I wish I never got rid of mine.

Stripped down the rear carrier to get it ready for 4.88 gears. The bearing puller kit made removing the bearings a breeze!

Bought a carrier & pinion bearing puller off Amazon. Along with the Milwaukee impact gun, pulling the bearings off the diff was a snap!

Point to you. As an aircraft technician, I have to try and interpret squawks written by pilots who have no idea how to structure a sentence or spell and figure out why they grounded the airplane. To save time, I get to the meat of the matter and ignore the rest. In this case it’s “Engine RPMs...

But but but compression braking is retarded!

Ok, I’m done trolling the orthodoxy

“Trump is a NAZI”

Translation: “Because I said so.” If it is retarded, you should be able to defend your position.

Ha! No, I’ve never had the brakes on my JK fail from heat. I learned to not ride the brakes on long descents to prevent them from getting that hot. Point to you. That’s not to say using engine compression & gearing doesn’t have other benefits, such as greater control in certain situations.

All right- what makes it retarded?

Because it never happens to you, it never happens. Something in this thread is retarded and it ain’t compression braking.

Are you gaslighting, or just jumping on the dog pile?

When off-road, I select a gear that lets me descend without relying on the brakes, whether the rig has an automatic or a manual. Brakes are used sparingly to prevent over-speeding, ease the rig over drop offs and prevent overheating the brakes on long descents. Under most circumstances...
