CarolinaJK's 2-Door Build Thread

my 33 and 3.21 are not the best in wv either. I may have to do a regear in the future.

In town in SC my gearing is fine. It could be better, but it's more than do-able. Being in WV is a whole different story. A week living here and I'd have to re-gear.

Well, after driving through the mountains of WV, I have to say 3.73s and 35's are horrible on hills.

I can't imagine. I have 32s with 3.73s and hate it in the mountains.

I ran 3.21 on both 33s and 35s in both Colorado and Northern Arizona here in Flagstaff. Driving up I70 and I17 and all over the mountainousous areas of the Colorado Plateau.... Granted I have a stick so it made it easier but not having 6th and not really having 5th gear even was bad... My first Moab trip with my rig I was on 3.21s with 35s. I then rendered my D30 somewhat useless and replaced it with a PR44 with 4.88s and MAN was it awesome!!

I have to use less skinny pedal on the trails and with the 35s I was using 6th gear at 35 mph around town even at 7000 ft elevation. Now with the 37s 6th is definitely a highway gear again but still has plenty of pep and oomph behind it.

Well damn I guess I do need 4.88's. I realllllly want a PR44, but just can't swing the cost at the moment. I just don't want to waste money re-gearing my d30.

I plan on doing 4.56s in a month on mine. The largest tire I will ever run on this WJ is a 315/70R17 (34.4). I'm excited to get some power/torque back.

Yeah that should be a good combo! I hope to eventually go 37's or I'd do the same.
