I've been buggin' ya'll (hell, ALL ya'll!) about my upcoming regearing project
for a while now. Bear with me; I'll get it done soon and then I'll bug you
about something else <g>!

I am planning on some 31's (from the 30's I have now with my 3.07 gear ratio)
as soon as I regear. Why not 33's, you ask? Well, this is a dual-purpose
vehicle to the extreme; I need to keep it polite for when I take the Volvo on
the 30-mile commute to work and my wife drives the kids on local errands or
whatever in my TJ. In other words, I can't afford yet another car, already got
the TJ, Volvo, and a pickup, so the TJ needs to stay road-friendly. So no lift
and 33's for now.

So. I am regearing to 4.10 to give myself some future breathing room.
True-Track LSD's front and rear at the same time. Is my Jeep gonna be too
jumpy and mule-ish with 4.10's and 31's ON ROAD, or will it be a little
low-geared but serviceable? Off-road, shit, the lower the better, not worried
at all about that.

Thanks ya'll! Hell, ALL ya'll <g>!

You'll be fine, thats the exact setup the new Rubicons have.
You can go to a dealer and test drive a Rubi, see what you think
Tookie - Denham Springs, LA
88YJ,"Money Hungry"
4" lift, 33" TSLs, Lock-Rights
PosiLock, 4.10s

my rubi is this exact setup. I really like it's "jack rabbit" snap off the
light. you might watch the "jumpiness" in first gear but other than that,
it will be great around town. It seems to "wind out" a bit on the
Interstate but not bad. Small sacrifice for the great response.. you will
like it.

I have 32" tires and 5 gears.I don't often use the 5th anymore.I think
my Sport"Apex" has 3.07 gears.Would the 4.10 reduce the "windout" in 5th
gear?-Hank.

Hank, 4.10's and 32's would be well matched. I've now got 4.56's on my
d30/35 with 33's bolted on the ends, gearing is a little low but it will
allow a great match for 35's at some point when I also throw on lockers.
Right now the performance, mileage, and all round feel is terrific. If I
drive slightly less than aggressive I'm looking at roughly 500 kms to a
tank.

Gusuntite!I think I'll do that in the Spring.

Do a search on the following thread, it generated a good discussion and
should provide greater insight...

4.10 best general-purpose gear ratio?
