In this episode, I go back into the garage, but this time I have a tech twist. A problem that occurs after upgrading to HUGE tires/wheels is that the vehicles computer is confused. The speedometer, shift points, odometer, everything relating to the wheels turning is out of whack. In episode 21, you saw my buddy Chad’s 2007 Jeep Wrangler JK, which has 37″ tires. Chad was looking for me to hack his Jeep’s computer to re-calibrate, because the dealers cannot calibrate that large… I found a few different solutions, some expensive, some confusing, but none as easy as the AEV ProCal Module from AEV Conversions. Think USB stick for cars… very cool project, very simple, and pretty inexpensive. If you own a jeep with large tires, this device is a no brainer… and for you tech heads like me, it’s just plain awesome!

As always, if I missed a good tip or other important information, please send me an email or post it on my blog.

Enjoy!

In this episode I stray completely away from technology and head into the garage. With the help of my buddy Chad, we upgrade his 2007 Jeep Wrangler JK with a Rancho bumper (RS6221B). This is a common aftermarket upgrade for you Jeep guys, but it comes with it’s challenges. So, Chad and I thought it would be awesome to document the process… And because this show is all about education, I thought it would be great to extend some help to the Jeep community at large. Like I said in previous episodes, it’s about making the internet a richer place for everyone.

I’d also like to thank our friends at wUnderCarParts.com, a great website for all your replacement / performance part needs!
