Cheers, well to be honest I haven't done much to the seat fabrics since owning this vehicle, I think I have the previous owner to thank for their current state.
You'll want a scan tool that can watch live data, but I'd be willing to bet you have an O2 sensor that's not responding correctly, and mucking up the fuel trims. A quick way to possibly test that theory, is does it have the dead spot when cold/first driven? AKA is it still in open loop mode for fuel trims? If it goes way when cold, i'm betting at least one of your downstream sensors is compromised. Your statement about it working fine when floored leads me on this thought path, as at WOT the system goes open loop as well. You could also just crawl under and visually inspect both downstream sensors. Compromised wiring that isn't totally broken can cause the sensor(s) to act wrong, but not throw a code. Go ahead, ask me how I know.
This is important: Chrysler ECUs listen to their downstream sensors. Anyone who tells you otherwise, is wrong.
I tried to use my floor jack and a ratchet strap to unseat the bead on an old tire in my basement. Not good results. Marred the sidewall. It’s ok, it’s a junk tire, but I learned I don’t want to try this on my good Jeep tires. Looks like I will be visiting a tire shop to have them install the TPMS sensors.
Wish there was *A WAY* to bypass that restrictive garbage.You'll want a scan tool that can watch live data, but I'd be willing to bet you have an O2 sensor that's not responding correctly, and mucking up the fuel trims.

Looking forward to your report on the Powertrax. Is it a No-Slip or Lock Right?
No slip.. daily driving hasnt seen any changes for me, especially since I dont take turns fast anyways..offroad should be a huge difference
Had any experience driving in weather with it?
I live in Az so i dont get much weather in the valley,that being said with it being in the rear diff and my previous experience growning up in Illinois I figure when the mansoon season hits and or I go up north to play in the snow I'll be fine
I keep himming and hawing over throwing my sub in, but then I fill the cargo area up with my work tools for the week. I miss it.
