Now, I've only had my 97 TJ for about 2 months now, and I'm not sure if this is normal for the 2.4 4 cylinder or if there is anything I can do to fix. Anyways, it is a 5 speed, and when going up hills, not even really steep ones, I tend to find myself having to shift down a lot. It has no lift kit, but does have the 31x10.5 tires. Is the drop in power going up hill normal for this, or is there anything I can do?
My 2.5 does the same and it's an automatic. I have 33's , 4:56 gears and I expect that from a 4 cyl. You and myself just need bigger engines. But don't worry off roading you'll be just fine.
I've towed two ATVs on a good sized trailer.... My four banger did find. Hills would be a problem with two quads,,, but one would be fine. The hills I drive Are the blue ridge parkway hills.
I was replying to pokey about my personal Experience with my i6 not trying to compare a 4and a 6.I know my jeep is not a sports car and Since when is going 70 a sports car if you go any less than that on I-20 you will be sandwiched between two 30 ton semis.
How so?I get 18mpg combined roughly half city half interstate I'm very satisfied with that.
