I vote 4.56, which is what I'm going to do. "Power" is relative, but if you have 35's and any kind of additional weight (steel bumpers, winch, etc) like I do, 4.56 will allow you to use the full range of MT gears with a few hundred extra RPMs which will definitely feel more "powerful" for...

That's unfortunate.. A diesel 6-speed MT would be basically perfect in 4.10.

Is it manual transmission?

Good to hear. What kind of mileage difference did you see?

You never chimed in. ....2 years ago. Thoughts on the 4.56?

I put 35s on my Mojave (3.6). 4.10 gearing was "adequate" until I then also put on steel bumpers, winch, full belly skids, etc. That was a bridge too far for the torque-desperate pentastar, and I have another couple hundred pounds of additions left. I'll likely re-gear soon.

It's not just the tire size upgrade that matters, but the tire size upgrade AND the new heavy steel bumpers, winch, skid plates, etc that makes 4.10 sluggish. The fact that I can't really use 6th gear anymore has me thinking 4.56 will be in my near future. ...along with a new clutch since...

Any updates on this? Looking at feedback for 4.88 or 4.56 for MT

So this is probably a question that will get me pawned, but... How much additional drag on gas mileage did the rack cause? Disclaimer: I'm fully aware the Jeep is not aerodynamic to begin with and gets shitty gas mileage. But 1-2 MPG difference is huge when you're already at 15. The added...

I've got a 9500lb winch as well, but added 1.5 inch spacer. It dropped about an inch so is a little high in the front. I've heard that the front will eventually 'settle' a bit further, so hoping it evens out at some point. Reminder for those reading, Mojave is (basically) level from the...

Agreed. I think it's also important to ensure your vehicle is getting aligned every time you mod wheels, lift, etc. Add at least adjustable LCAs and ensure your camber is checked. A lot of people just add lift, spacers or bigger wheels/tires without doing any of that. Sometimes they're...

Personally, the day I get death wobble is the day I trade it in. I won't put up with that. Not for a $65k vehicle.

Yeah, it's the RR stubby. Due to weight, I'm probably going to find an aluminum front skid option somewhere, and cut if needed.

Not rock crawling, but some higher speed off-road. Things would have to go badly for me to hit that high, but can't rule it out. I just need to find a skid that works with it-- or as you mentioned, try to cut the factory skid.

I have the Diode Dynamics elite max. I like them, however had I known the total cost of purchase/installation, and the other issues (needed Taser to make them work) along with the fact that you basically need to remove the fenders to adjust them ... I probably would have passed.

The stubby aftermarket bumper required the removal of the OEM front bumper skid plate. I also have a full-belly pan skid. Per the photo, the front shock reservoirs are now basically exposed, though they are directly behind the front steel frame bracket. How much of an issue do you think this...

So I've had this Jeep for about a month, and I took it to a local ORV park to do some tests on systems I haven't used much yet... I switch between 4H and 4L a couple times. I then wanted to test the rear locker (Mojave) in 4H. I hold down the traction control for the 5 seconds until it beeps...

I have 35/11.5 Ridge Grapplers. I can't attest to the MPG because I replaced OEM Falkens immediately, but I wanted to comment on 11.5 width: It's fine. You'll notice a hit to your acceleration with 4.10 (I sure did), but as most would say, 4.10 is still within acceptable parameters.

So if/when a fix for the recall is found, what are the chances the dealership will correctly remove and reinstall the full belly skid in a competent manner?

Coming from a Chevy Colorado Z71 diesel... The Mojave manual drives just as nice (Mmm... that suspension...) on the highway, the Mojave seat hugs you better (sorry Rubicon, it's true) and you have a damn capable off-road monster. I miss the torque of the 2.8 diesel, though. Everything else is...
