Engine, transmission, and transfer case all have about 10,000 miles on them. Everything was new/rebuilt in 2015.

TheAtlas4 transfer case has a 3-lever cable shifter, so you can engage Hi/Lo on the front and rear axles independently, and the 3rd lever is for ultra-low. With a wide range of crawl ratios on the t-case, and an automatic transmission, you're always in a good gear to climb. You don't loose any momentum from shifting. Just point theJeepwhere you want it to go, and it gets there.

The PiMP ECU lets you adjust Air/Fuel mixture maps, timing maps, etc. Still needs some fine-tuning for extremely cold weather startup, but I added a block heater so it still starts fine when it's plugged in.

Right now the motor is tuned conservatively at around 250hp at 12psi of boost, which is still very quick for aJeepand should be extremely reliable for years of running. The GT28RS turbo should be able to generate around 20psi on this motor, which should be good for around 300hp on 93 octane. On E85, the motor should put out around 400hp, but you'd be pushing the limits of both the turbo and the engine itself.

The ECU is tuned for high altitude right now, so anywhere closer to sea level you will really want to have a performance shop custom-tune the fuel maps, especially near the upper boost range. Normal driving at low-boost it won't make much difference, but if you push the motor too hard it can damage things. The reason is that, in Colorado, our atmospheric pressure is about 3psi less than sea level. So even though the turbo is set to 15psi, the most it will generate here is the equivalent of 12psi at sea level. There's no way for me to tune it at full 15psi of boost, so that power range has not been dialed in yet.

The alignment was just checked and tires rotated/balanced.
