Project OREO - 2006 LJ Overland and General Purpose Rig

[SquareLJ]

Our Jeeps are going to end up quite alike... I have all Currie control arms, track bars and steering. I have AEV's 4.5" springs sitting in the garage (though, I'm thinking about doing their 3" springs instead) for 35" tires. And we both have white LJ's with black parts everywhere.

I have a Scanguage II plugged into the OBDII port and the absolute highest I've gotten is 220* after idling for a long time but it will also do that on the highway during prolonged periods of high speed (75mph, 2400-2600RPM). On the other end, It'll drop to around 204* on some occasions.

Part of me still thinks it's a bad fan clutch, so I'm gonna check that out after I'm done with finals.

I went with 4.56 over 4.88 purely because I do a lot of driving on the highway, more at 75 mph than 65 mph. I'm ok with it because I picked up a 4-1 Transfer Case out of a Rubicon, so I'll still have a pretty respectable crawl ratio.

I'm pretty sure I traced the creaks and pops out of my rear end to the spider gears. They should hold together until I install the ARBs and new ring and pinion if I refrain from any wheeling, or at least I'm praying they do.

Square, I'm a huge fan of your LJ, I also have the hood blackout at home, still waiting to be applied. How do you like the Bedrugs and the sport cage? Those are also on my list, but a bit farther in the future.

Good score on the Rubicon case. I have started a slow search for one. I am looking more for a lower crawl ratio but your reason makes perfect sense. Cant wait to see where it goes

Just a thought (happened to me)... if you replaced your rad and then had temp issues - I'd suggest you may have a persistent air bubble in the system.

Thanks man. The BedRug is really nice. Once it's in, you have to make two holes for the center console but it isn't hard to do. The sport cage is kinda a pain in the butt to get on, but other than that, it's great.
