July 2011 Your Jeep
For Jp’s newer readers, Steal-J was a ’97 TJ project built in Jp magazine several years ago. The buildup series is on our website at jpmagazine.com . I installed the following on my ’97 and was able to cleanly fit both 32x11.50R15 or 265/75R16 tires with absolutely no rubbing. I probably could’ve squeezed in a 33, but it would’ve been a little tight.
It’s been several years since I sold it, but I remember it drove very nicely on the street with zero issues. My wife even drove it frequently and she’s not an enthusiast of any kind. The Jeep had no bump steer or spooky handling quirks. The Pro Comp springs were a bit firm, but not punishing. I could dial the MX-6 shocks for a softer/firmer ride, but I never did. I can’t remember what I put them on, but it was somewhere in the middle of the shocks’ adjustment range.
I installed a TeraFlex extreme short shaft on the NP231 because of the TH700R4 transmission installation. I also had a Tom Wood’s Custom Drive Shafts CV rear driveshaft. The Jeep had absolutely no vibrations on the road, could take off-ramps fast, had no problem on the freeway, and was my daily-driver and commuter for years. It also made a nice off-road vehicle, although I never did any really heavy wheeling with it. Mostly I used it for fun little overnight trips to Ocotillo, California, and Parker, Arizona, and places like that.
Which is better for off-roading: a manual transition or an automatic? I have only had a manual transmission. The reason I’m asking is if you go to a Jeep dealership almost all of the Jeeps are automatics. You can find one or two manuals. Why is that? Does Jeep send these to its dealerships because most Jeep owners don’t go off-road with their Jeeps?The manual versus auto debate really comes down to personal preference. It also depends on which auto or manual you’re talking about. For example, if you asked about a Peugeot five-speed manual versus a TH400 auto I’ll say the TH400 is the better transmission. However, if you’re talking an NV3500 or SM420 manual versus a Ford AOD or Chrysler 42RLE auto I’ll say the manual wins all day long.
Why so many new Jeeps with autos at the dealerships? Simple, ’cause that’s what the dealerships order from the factory. It comes down to what the customer wants. People are too stupid and/or lazy to shift gears for themselves—plain and simple. If I were buying a new Wrangler JK, I’d go for the manual tranny. It’s way more fun to drive and there are no fluid starvation or pump uncovering issues at angles.

Thanks for serving, Charlie. The Jeep has an unknown 4-inch lift on it that was on the Jeep when he bought it. That paves the way for a set of 33x12.50 Mickey Thompson MTZs on Pro Comp rims. The 4.0L inline-six still pushes power through the AX15 and
