What did you do to your WK today!?

[07JeepXK]

wow.... I hope you keep track of all the required parts, lmao. Sal and I are intending on doing the same mod for my WK later this year. If you could eventually get it all into a 'HOW-TO' that would be killer. The more detail the better!

Yeah the garage is a mess right now... but its easy to tell the new parts from old parts Do you want a "how to" for the gear swap or QT II swap?

Sounds like that's going to be a killer Jeep!

Thats what were hoping. But unfortunately it still has a 3.7 liter. But between the CAI, Headers and 3.73 gears (along with the option of 4 low) he should be good to go.

Very cool. Can't wait to see that thing!

So you installed 3.73's on a QT1 jeep and no codes were thrown? Or did you just clear them out?

I have 3.73 gears in my garage waiting to be installed but am afraid of the codes.

Yeah 3.73's have been installed in the rear of a QT I jeep thats soon to be a QT II 3.7 liter. No codes as we arent totally done with the front end. Not worried about and issues with the computer/trans...we got that all figured out.

He doesn't have it on the road yet.

Correct. It should be done tonight though. It has however had the 4 inch BDS lift installed for the past 2 years with 33x12.5's. This picture was taken two summers ago after the lift was installed.





This is the same WK that has the pinch weld modification done to it. It was pushed back approx. 2 inches

Yes please! although the 3:55's would be fine if were swapping and the 3:73's work with little to no issues I would guarantee AJ would want those

Yes, BOTH


And I agree with you, while I am shy of the 33x12.5 - This past weekend, we obviously wheeled our Jeeps. Being one of but a VERY few of 3.7L's with 285's or larger, I found that my performance made the 3.7L more capable of handling these tires while wheeling. Like It honestly felt no different than when I wheeled my 4.0HO with the 33X12.5's.

When it's dry AJ has issues with hills so does Toby they over heat the trans and have to stop and sometimes if they don't have momentum they can't make the hill. I think the mud helped them with allowing them to spin putting them further in the power band. Either one of those gears would help but the QT2 is the key part.

Yeah, the mud probably helped. But also, Sal, I was wheeling with the ESP entirely functional, this was always killing torque and momentum. Also, last summer my fans would refuse to come on to keep engine and tranny at low temps. Programmer resolved that. It's not a perfect set-up, but its a working one. I would not dream of trying towing someone out, lol - not the way im loaded.

But, of course gears and xcase swap will definitely Improve things A LOT.

[07JeepXK]

Yeah its a night and day.difference with gears and having the ability to.put the t-case in 4low

Will update later on today after paint and install

edit : Yes AJ those are ECU Cornhole boards

3.73 install is complete...

Any codes?

[Sal-XK]

Of course... Incorrect gear ratio. But we knew that was going to happen.

Caleb did some programmer research for the 3.7 so did AJ not sure if gears where something they said could be changed but they both had threads here. Keep copious notes bro because I have a feeling I'll be doing this next.
