Picked up a 2021 Overland-Stop me please!

[badger719]

3.73s are fine with 35s imo. No need to regear at that tire size.

I went from a 2015 Silverado LTZ to my 2021 Overland as well. I'm 6'1" so I'm about the same height and although the Silverado had more adjustability in the seat for longer road trips I don't mind the seats in the JT. I ordered the Seatjackers, but never installed them as they tip the seat back and I have my son's booster seat behind the driver's seat and didn't feel like getting more kicks from the back while driving. I have a 32" inseam and the seats have grown on me quite a bit. I have heard plenty of people say that buying a dead pedal really helps out and that is on my list to pick up. You may want to look into those as an option too.

Keep in mind going to 35's on the stock 3.73 gears is going to leave you most likely unhappy and you should really consider the cost of regearing into that price for new tires and a lift. It's not just hills and trails, but it will effect your everyday driving as it will lose a lot of get up and go when accelerating and taking off on the street too. It I added on 275/70R18 (33s) and Rubicon springs/shocks and I'm very happy with the look and the capabilities. I've hit some trails with some pretty tricked out Jeeps and Toyotas and I went everywhere they went and actually I got through some obstacles better than they did. A lot of that comes down to the driver too. I agree those highway tires the Overland came with needed to go though. Mine went onto my dad's F150 as he needed new tires anyway. I used the JScan app to reprogram when I did my tires and it worked flawlessy. I would look into it as an alternative to the Tazer as it's only $20 plus the cost of a gateway adapter and a bluetooth/wifi OBDII scanner. So total cost is still much lower then the Tazer plus I already had the OBDII scanner in the toolbox.

I personally think the Alpine system is very comparable to the Bose system that was in the Chevy and I don't have any complaints with any of the music I listen to. It could be improved though if you really want a better deeper bass, but I moved on from that when I left my 20s.

carful there. 35's are the gateway drug. 6 months from now you will be looking at 37s lol and more lift.

I live in Houston which is pretty flat so I am hoping I can get by for awhile with the 3.73s and 35's. I work from home so commuting is a non factor. I don't plan on any hard core off roading or pulling a trailer either. Probably beaches and dirt trails mostly.

Mine was ok off-roading, it was just the mountains around here. Got to go over a mountain in any direction you go from here. Would be pushing 4k rpm just to maintain any speed uphill/ Slight hill on the highway and tranny kicked down 2 gears

Yes and no. I agree and disagree sometimes.
For my use - the 3.73 gears are fine. Even for my towing at 5,000 pounds, they are fine. But then I've only run 32.2" or 32.8" (Rubicon take-offs) on my Overlands.
A regear is tempting at times but I also like the MPG I get.
If I went up to say 34" tires, I'd maybe think differently - and that could be my next move.

Yea, mine was good on Rubi takeoffs but then sucked when I went to 35's,

I am still undecided with the lift and tire combo at this time. I will up size to the 285's as there are plenty of cheap takeoffs out there and see how they look with the Terraflex Leveling kit
I found this free diy mod to add another 3.5" travel to the seat.

I have ordered the dead pedal also.
I have found that the Alpine system is growing on me but I will eventually replace the speakers and go from there.
Thanks for the tip on the J Scan app. I will definitely check that out.

Check out the Tazer options. But if all you want to do is change tire size, than Jscan is the cheapest.

Or change TPMS settings or enable hood alarm or increase idle while using a winch or change fog light settings or any number of other things.
