What are the best first few performance upgrades on my truck? I'm thinking headers, cam, and possibly a little head work once I have it paid off but for right now I'm stuck with just really cheap stuff or things I can do myself. Also, any other tips/tricks to help my truck?
I just don't have any money right now and hate having my two buddy's with their tundras tearing me up!
I don't have one (yet) but from what I've seen a good tune (wheatley I believe is the preferred tuner here) and intake can give you a bit more ponies/tq
I would also say do a complete tune up, maybe a good header later down the road when you have more available funds. Or save up for rear mounted turbo! I'm thinking of going this route myself.

If my heep sells quickly I would be interested. Great looking SSS!

LOCATION: Thornton, Colorado
CONACT INFO: pm or 720 250 6590
ITEM: 2005 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
DESCRIPTION: See pics
MILES:51k
PRICE: 19,500 (new lower price)
MODS: See ad
Great off road and on pavement. Great daily with a good deal of off road capability
Here is the craigslist ad / Selling because we are having our first child. I need something a bit easier for the wife to get into as well as hauling the baby (like a SSS). Thanks all!
-
have to use 91 as well i see....hmmm. I need something a bit more economical i think ( i know the wife thinks it is not practical lol)
-
Nice z06, must have a thing for blue?
-
post pics! Any plans for the z06? If you don't mind me asking, around how much did you get her for?
-
Thanks for the info all! This will be a daily for most of the year (except for the hard winter months when I have my jeep). My next question is avg fuel consumption for an awd 6.0l with minimal mods(intake,exhaust,chip) Thanks again, I appreciate all the info here!
-
Anyone use the sss for primary kid hauling duty? I have no kids yet but me and the wife are planning on having 1. How easy is it to get a baby seat in and out of? Looking at getting a sss and this is really the only thing I can think of that might stop me. Wife has a subaru outback but it would be nice to take my vehicle when we need to go somewhere with the baby. Thanks all!

Exactly as the title reads. I will be selling my car by the end of next week and I would like to replace it with a SSS, prefer black or blue. Would like to stay under 75k. Has to be AWD!!! Under 20k. let me know what you all have please. My name is Kevin. Cell 7-2-0-2-5-0-6-5-9-0

Also how do I tell if the ss has the lq4 or lq9?
Is this anyone's on here? What do you guys think?

Not really. All years seem to have most of the same problems depending on models(AWD/RWD).
Thanks man! Also I wish had the cash to buy yours! that is one sweet truck!
-
is there anything to watch out for on the first year sss? Are there more problems associated with front diff failures, trans issues with the first year? Or any weird kinds that have been since taken care of by gm, etc?
Thanks !
-
That would be me
i tried that self employeed thing but watching sopranos and playing madden all day just didn't bring in the cash like i had originally thought! Haha...also diggerdan11 very nice truck!!
-
Work sucks! Im on day 21 now without a day off. December 30th was the last day I had off. Hopefully I get Thursday off unless something goes wrong again.
That sucks! What type of work do you do if you dont mind? I've had too work about 2 weeks straight(working 10-11hr days) while finishing a customers car (autobody can really take the piss out of you lol)

"The rear diff will explode and give you AIDS"
Is this true? LOL my friend who is a tech just sent me this a text and I thought I'd share...had me cracking up!
-
#6 holds true for about 80% of my co-workers lol. Good stuff!
-
ok great! I appreciate the help! So the engine available in the sss was either the lq4 or lq9, how do I tell?
-
Check the transmission also. They go out frequently.
only if abused right? 4l60 is more prone from what I've head....I think that is a somewhat subjective answer no?
-
i have nearly 80k on mine and no major problems. ive had the intermidiate shaft upgraded and now my stepper motor on my speedo is going out. other than that its been a great truck
there is that name again....hehe. Thanks!
-
Also what are the known problem areas(if any) with these trucks that I need to be aware of? Are there any tsbs that need to be performed that I should ask the p/o if they have been done? Thanks!
-
What are the problem ares with these trucks? I'm not exactly sold on getting one since I keep hearing all the problems associated with these. My dad has a 03 silverado with 140k and apart from a rt ft window reg and a rear u joint he has had no problems. This will be my daily driver so it needs to be reliable! Thanks all!
-
Wow! Thanks for all the repsonses! All of you have some very nice trucks! Anyone of you daily drive them? I know these aren't great on gas but It will see mainly highway miles. Thanks!

welcome to the site and i must say you have a great name
haha indeed...same goes for you man!
Best Upgrades On My Truck
in General SS

I believe you will have a better experience getting the tune from wheatley (possibly cheaper as well). Unless you live in an area like so-cal where there a good deal of performance shops it is better (imho) to get a tune from a specialist like wheatley. I have done this now on 2 vehicles (Svt cobra and Svt focus) from a special tuner online and had absolutely no complaints. When I dyno'd the cobra it had a better readout than all of the other vehicles with different tunes (this was a base tune). Also I can't personall speak for wheatley but most of the specialized tuners will custom tune or re-tune your vehicle for a good deal less than others. So lets say you add a turbo he will be the best option to re-tune the vehicle. Good luck with your SSS. I can't wait to get mine. Anyone wanna buy a jeep lol ?
