You'll be fine with 4.1s on 35s, but more gear won't hurt. I've been on 35s with the stock gears for about 8000 miles now. 37s would probably suck without re-gearing, though. One day, eventually, I'll regear it to 4.88:1, but I'm in no rush, and I've got other projects for now on some old cars that will take my money. I've got an old bug, and my wife bought an old Jetta that will need some TLC.Sounds like the tall gear can't be avoided if all makes are doing it. Not sure why, but it is what it is. Are you enjoying your manual?
Great , looking forward to it. I'm sure ay some point I will upgrade to 35 or possibility 37's. Regear will be in plan ay that point.
I'm enjoying the gladiator manual a lot. It's my every day vehicle as well as my trail vehicle, and it's enjoyable for both. I don't get out on the trails nearly as much as I want to, but the MT has never been a detriment for me. I'm at 20,000 miles.
