What did you do to your jeep today?

I had no option. At first the ignition switch actuator went, I took that apart and startup with a flat head screw driver while waiting for parts. After a few days of doing that the ole girl didn’t want to start. I knew it was the starter. Lucky I had one laying around from a facebook market deal a few years earlier.

Gotta love it when you already have your parts 'in stock'. Just did 06 front end work from accumulated finds like that.

Yes, but it should read the other way. The error margin was bigger when I had 225’s.

dunno if anyone will call ******** on this but...
my theory is, 07 sticks were incorrectly programmed to think they're running 3.73 gears instead of 3.55. I did some extensive napkin math one year (lots of steady state speeds compared to GPS on my phone), and the error was damn near exactly the error between 3.73/3.55. Also you CANNOT change the tire size on an 07. I tried, I have the PIN code for my ECU, and it still won't let me custom program a tire size. every time I do it defaults to the SMALLEST value and causes a wildly inaccurate speedo... as in a 100mph indicated at 60mph. my only choice a this point, is to run 235/75 or 245/75 sized tires to get the speedo to ready "correctly."

I have a set of 3.73 diffs I can install, but that's a pretty tall job to do for a very small return.

What maintenance did you get done? It is raining for days here in Philadelphia and so no Jeep work is getting done here for a while.

Fluids, filters, winter wipers, tire rotation, Got Khaan! aligned (wasn't off by much, but as you know I abuse the hell out of it), RainX on exterior glass, JBA and ball joint lube on Bert, Old Hippy Stank neutralization, Plugs in the Rubi, Battery contacts cleaning, deep clean of undercarriages, etc. etc.

Finally got round to fitting a new starter motor, spinning at full speed again.
