I cannot tell you how pleased I am that this thread turned into an Idiocracy quote thread! I love that movie, though sometimes I feel like it will be shown as a cautionary warning by whatever society replaces ours when it finally fails, lol. -TJ

I definitely agree that popular opinion is the H233B is bullet-proof, and we all the internet mostly wants to complain so if all you find is positive feedback it must truly be a great axle. -TJ

Couldn't agree more. The XJ is a legend, and for good reason. The problem is "the cat is out of the bag" and, at least around me, all XJs have either shot up in price or have been beaten to death. With all 3 if you live in a rust-belt area there are rust-related structural problems. I'd...

Where exactly are you finding that the H233B is a version of a Dana 60? Again, it seems to be a drop-out 3rd member design, which means fundamentally it's as different from a Dana 60 as is actually possible. Don't get me wrong, I like drop-out 3rd member designs (and so does most of the world...

I'm not a Nissan expert by any means, but are you sure the X got a Dana 60? That's generally a 1-ton (sometimes 3/4 ton) axle in the Domestic world. Heck my 702HP 6300lbs RAM TRX has a "hybrid" rear axle that is a Dana 60 center but with smaller outers and AFAIK it's the only 1500 that has...

Hoping I can make it!

Hey, I'm in Palo Alto (and Vegas). I'd love to check out the R1T sometime, or go for a trip with you and see how it works out. I have several friends that have them on order. -TJ

I'd suggest the constant duty. First, it's constant duty so you can "set it and forget it" especially if you do the 4-tire fill kit. Second, it's the 450 head unit, same as the portable I have that on constant duty would probably take ~30-40 minutes to take some 35"s from 25 to 55psi. You...

Can you post which ones you're looking at? I have and it did pretty well with my previous 35x12.5-18" tires on my 2500. I'd say it took ~10min per tire to come back up from ~25psi to 55-60psi. I'd let it rest ~5min between tires, so it took an hour to do. If you're going to mount an...

Hey all, I'm looking for actual experience with, and feedback on 8.1 GMT800 Suburbans from owners. I'm pretty familiar with the GMT800 platform as a whole, and I've had a few buddies with 8.1s in pickups but nothing beats real-world experience that matches the intended use case from owners. A...

Great advice there! I haven't owned/Overlanded a TJ, but I have had lots of friends with them and spent a decent amount of time in/around them. I'd say the single biggest thing, particularly with a 4cyl like you're considering building is not to go too big/heavy. TJs are exceptionally...

Not a TB (or a 1500) but I Broverland a Chebbie: -TJ

Well, it seems I certainly did strike a nerve here. Hopefully this thread is actually informative for content creators as well. Glad I'm not the only one! -TJ

I'm sure a 6.1 SRT-based 426cui Hemi is going to fix my brakes, right!?! -TJ

JKs can fit a 16", most just don't do it. I have JK axles/brakes on the WJ and I run 16"s on it. I wish I had 17"s though (should have just bought new wheels when I did the bigger tires) so I could put a big brake kit for a JK on the front of it. The brakes are... "okay" at best. -TJ

No WJ came with 15"s stock: Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ - Factory wheels -TJ

For CJ/TJ/XJ/ZJ maybe... WJ generally is 16x9" or 17x9", JK/JL/JT 17x9". -TJ

You'll prob have better luck on the WJ Facebook Groups (as scary as that is) with this specific of a question. When I still had stock axles/brakes because all my research said 15"s wouldn't clear. That said, steelies have more clearance *generally* and it's going to come down to our exact...

Glad to hear it's not just me! I have some Overland YT channels that I follow, and I make sure to support them how I can (like/subscribe/thumbs up/etc.) but thus far haven't decided to support any of them directly in a monetary fashion (Patreon, whatever). On the other hand, I specifically...

Same. -TJ
