Im looking forward to running with the big boys nxt year on this trip. having 4.88 gears will help me greatly, my speed is just way to fast at 3.21. i know i will for sure have a select-able locker in the front or back, still trying to see if i can afford both. depends on if i can sneak something past danny or not.
Kent, you have a 2.31 to 1 transfer case, not 3.21 to 1.
That's why Rubi cases make such a difference at 4:1.
He is referring to his gears, not t-case
Im saying for me, regearing from the crappy hwy gears. to 4.88 would be a huge improvment. i would like to go 5.13, but i think on the D30 i have seen alot of posts saying that going smaller than 4.88 the teeth are
just to tinny, most of the posts i have seen where ppl that have 30 up front on a JK do 4.88 (non-rubi) and feel the crawl rate is sufficient. sure, i would love to have a rubi transfer case. knowing that wes is out of town today, i am planning on sneaking over and breaking into his garage and removing his. for me, i think just the 4.88 gears and a select locker maybe in the rear will gain me alot more ability and allow me to wheel for a few more years , until i look at my nxt big upgrade. which may be a new transfer case, or saving for a selectable in the front, maybe even replacing the d30 with a d44. i need to get used to the 4.88 once i get thme in.
i think i do pretty good with the 3.21, .. it would be like putting blue wes in 4th or 3rd .. that may be close to my 1st gear in 4L. Danny or someone smarter than me might beable to relate.. it just sucks....
I have drivin wes's. i know how slow it goes, with the 33s and 4.10 with my 35's and 4.88 i will still go faster than him, in 1st 4L, but not as much as 3.21 . //btt//
