Great looking install! Let us know hp/torque before and after numbers. I would think with the Procharger the daily driveability would be pretty similar to n/a until you wind it up.

Lots of negative reports of the motor not holding up but we will find out lol. I don't daily it but don't plan on driving like ken block at every light either. I did not dyno the numbers originally as I don't have access to one. Once my tune file gets to me I'll be doing the same run and compare from there.

Yes saw it was a 3.6 and makes me even more curious for your feedback on performance. Never going to be a drag racer at that weight, those HEAVY tires, and 5.38 gearing but I'm guessing that isn't what you are looking for exactly. I work with someone with a lifted Wrangler unlimited on 35's and the 3.6 really works to just get that thing moving, can be hard to pass someone at 40-55 mph.

The street speeding days are behind me it was too expensive lol. It's more of just a fun woods vehicle to have fun. The jeep 3.6l out of stock configuration has a hard time passing an old lady in a cross walk lol. Procharger says 40-45% power increase over stock with 7psi of boost so 120hp ish gain. When I drove home not even tuned it was pretty peppy but it was pinging here and there. I'll have to wait for the tune file and then let it rip

Today was a weird day for the YJ. Started out this morning with a screw in the tire. Extracted the screw and the tire wasn’t leaking so I drove it. Hour and a half of trouble free mixed highway and surface street driving. Everything was great. Got back home and loaded up the family for a grocery store run and we got death wobble on a back road.
Got it back home and did a nut and bolt check on the front end. Hubs, ball joints, tie rod ends, bushings etc all looked good. I did take the time to adjust the alignment a little because the blinker cancel was annoying me. Normal driving the wheel was up against the right blinker cancel so I would fight it turning on the blinker and it would cancel right away. The left blinker cancel required a lot of rotation so it sometimes didn’t cancel. Now it’s centered and cancels equally left and right. I was as short as I could go on the drag link so I needed to fudge the tie rod over a little to get it dialed. The steering is aftermarket and not designed for a YJ plus I moved the steering box when I stretched the wheelbase so I don’t blame it on the steering system.
at this point I think the death wobble was just the road conditions and the old tires since everything looked good mechanically

this is with the blower?

Procharger same principle of a blower but with a twist of a turbo.
Picked this up yesterday to replacing the ragged 08 Suby the wife has been driving.
(dealer stock photo)
Wolf Gray Sorento X-Line SX Prestige AWD (that's a mouthful)
Seems like a nice car so far and she likes it.
Impressed with the 8-Speed DCT, and peppy 281HP 2.5L turbo considering the weight, but disappointing a car this new and higher trim doesn't have ambient lighting (The hybrids do.)

Not a bad looking machine. Is this a 3 row SUV or 2?

Was it made in Georgia?
3 row, 7 pax.
That last row better be small and short. LOL. Grandson thinks it's his fort back there.
Really just got it so she has some cargo room for her craft fairs. That did not exist in her Imprezza sedan.

Craft fairs and Subarus go hand in hand. You’ve done messed up the aesthetic
Could not do a Suby SUV, I think they're ugly AF and you have to be at least 51% Lesbo to drive one.
This will be her first non-suby since like 1988.
