What are the benefits with a bead lock?
@JKB_OFFROAD_olllllllo29 күн бұрын
@@TheMuscelBoy Beadlocks allow you to air your tire down to single digits with your tire falling off the wheel. Or popping a bead. I’ve had them down to 2.5 lbs in snow, which works great. Allows for a bigger footprint, to stay on top of the snow. High horsepower rigs have them to stop the tire from spinning on the wheel.

Some of the other vids I’ve seen show mounting the engine using the TOP motor mount holes, this is the first one I’ve seen using the BOTTOM holes. Is it personal preference, or is there a specific reason as to which holes you choose to mount to? I would assume the lower holes offer a lower center of gravity but what about clearance for front axle and other components? Thank you for such detailed vids!
@JKB_OFFROAD_olllllllo4 ай бұрын
I didn’t like the angle of the motor in the top location. My exhaust manifolds were too close to the firewall. Also found the bottom holes clearances the firewall a bit more behind the heads. Every Jeep is slightly different, so you kinda just have to play around with what works in your situation.

I purchased my wiring kit and all Jeep Speed shop components through Hotwire Auto. He sells JSS parts. He just doesn’t advertise it. Which included: 5.7 wiring harness 8 speed kit (Harness and TCM) Motor mounts Steering relocation bracket B-Plate and shifter floor plate. If you want tap shift to work, you need to take the computer out of your 8 speed transmission by removing the oil pan and valve body. Send it to JSS so Liz can flash it with a charger tune. I’m not sure if Chris offers that service. I didn’t think to ask at the time. Wouldn’t hurt to ask him while you are ordering your parts. Hope that clears things up. Good luck!
