Holy shit, you don't even speed on alligator alley? You must get run over on 95 and 75 lol. I may have exceeded the speed limit just a bit on 39s and beadlocks on alligator alley. I will say 100 in a jeep is a lot more terrifying than 125 in a cayman.

Someone f'ing gets it lol. We bought the 4xe in 2021 for these exact reasons. My wife drove the straight 2.0 (second favorite), 3.6 (least favorite), and then the 4xe and it put a giant smile on her face because it had 392 torque and felt like a real sports SUV. Since then that thing has done...

Definitely measurable. 1 second improvement 0-60 isn't anything to sneeze at. Still doesn't do anything for the highway, but man I love the regeared jt around town as compared to the non-regeared one (I have gears dad doesn't and his definitely lacks the get up and go from the stop light, still...

That's only for the diesels right?

I tried putting a V8 in mine but I don't think I did it right. It just kind of sputtered and died instead of giving me more power. Next time I'll try splash instead of original.

They have wheel people that will fix it but it will never be perfect . You can check Facebook for another one and switch to 37s so you can run any curb you want and not hit the rim though.

I've had really good luck with the falken RTs in 38x13.50r17. I took them through Florida mud and did all kinds of stupid shit at windrock at 7 psi(on beadlocks) and they still look like new and ride as quiet as any other AT I've had even at 20k miles. The sidewalls are a bit stiff but I run...

That explains the discrepancy. The computer straight sucks at actual acceleration unless you are towing then it will hold that straight to redline in my experience. If you're letting the computer do it it'll just short shift you everywhere. As I really mentioned before I only did gears for 2...

I gained a full second 0-60 on 5.13s and 39s than 4.10s and 39s. Averaged over 10 runs 5 in each direction. You have the same number of shifts 0-30 on 4.10s and 5.13s so there is no loss there. Physics don't lie in this case and the extra torque in the 2 gears makes a huge difference. Did you...

That's not true, you gain more power at the wheels for any given ratio thanks to the final drive ratio. If all you look at is top speed or towing at highway speeds, you're 100% right, the 8 speed can compensate mostly by grabbing a lower gear. What you don't get by not regearing is the low end...

I hit 101 on 39 km3s once lol. Was like riding a bucking runaway wagon with how bad km3s are at balancing.

No values assigned. I agree it can be more complex than a straight gas drive train but complexity =\= inefficiency. Yes they're more complex, but a modern diesel is significantly more complex (and newer technology than a hybrid actually) than a gas car but it doesn't suddenly make it less...

Complex sure, not sure how you can say inefficient though other than you just don't like them because reasons lol.

If green was the priority almost everything would just be a plugin hybrid with about 30 miles of range and an efficient gas engine. You can make 5-10 phevs for 1 ev, and run significantly more miles under electric power everyday as that is the majority of most people's daily commute and uses...

I guess I've driven up cliffs by your definition. Towing to TN I was indeed in 3rd and 2nd gear going up big long hills that would have been stuck in first gear screaming. I'm towing a camper though so the wind resistance is real. The main reason I actually regeared was that I was tired of...

Check if you have a sector shaft brace. The bushing/bearings get old and squeaky

You'll be slower off the line, it will suck going up big hills, you'll lose gas mileage, you'll see 7th and 8th gear less other than that not much. I love my regear, but I drove with out it for a long time and it was fine. I know tons of folks driving on 4.10s and 37s and they're happy as clams.

I'll disagree there. The throttle pedal lag was killing me, I much prefer getting power as soon as I hit the gas not halfway through its travel.

I feel attacked...

I'm specifically talking about the steering wheel, my jt rides better for sure (especially in wind it just shrugs it off), but the wheel itself moves more even as the jeep tracks straight.
