Just bewere the BUM-P stops Dan Hahaha

But seriously this week i fitted a new BlackJack rear bar with tyre carrier, stearing box guard and bottom radiator tank guard on my TJ.
Also ordered a couple of ARB diff covers, ready to fit when i get around to putting some lockers in and posibaly even looking at changeing the ratios.
I have been having some trouble finding the info i am after with the search function in regard to diff ratios! but any input into my situation is welcome, I am curently running stock 3.07 ratios with a 6 speed manual, 31" tyres and 2" lift.
Since upgradeing from stock (28.4" tyres) i have found i now strugle towing my camper trailer up hills and 6th gear is almost obsolite even without any load.
I have done some reserch into the diff ratios and am thinking either 3.73 or 4.11 would be suitable. I have also thought about getting a set of headers and 2.5" exsaust system. I already have a snorkle and run a K&N air filter.
So i am thinking with the intake and exsaust systems giving me a little extra grunt the 3.73 should be spot on the money for a good comprimise between torque and fuel economy Any thoughts on my line of thinking ?
Also wondering if any one has tried any sort of chip upgrades to their ECU's
i have seen "JET chips" online and also veiwed some yank fourums saying they don't do anything to improve performance and are just a wast of money !?!? Any constructive advise/info is welcome.

Like i said i have had touble with the search function trying to find related topics so apoligize if this has a been said and done before.
Havent tried posting any pics yet but will give it a go soon not he biggest or blingest build out there but give ya's a look anyway.
Thanks Matt

take it back and check it out but also check your uni joints, and double cardinal. they can make strange noises when they are rooted.



recessed my xvision reverselight into the arb rear bar, just used a hole saw as the light itself is round inside a square housing.
was pretty simple just measured the height of the bracket and width of the light ect to make sure it would be in the right spot and bam!

has anyone found the plug/wiring for the bonnet light that comes standard in some of the TJ's? and does anybody know what the extra switch is on the headlight stalk, is it just the foglights or?

[brenttj]

there was no noise before they went in so im gathering its the ratios going back in monday
