So that is what 6th looks like! I have 12.5 x 35s with stock gearing, so I never get to see 6th.

you live in montana, how are you not hitting 65mph+?

I don't even use 5th until I hit 70 with 35s/4.10s

I have no issues with 5th at 55 and 6th at 65+ with 35s/4.10s

I was half joking but it lugs too much. I just keep it in 5th at 70 until hills and then shift into 4th. Flat ground

On flat ground I could, mountain passes are a shift fest

Guys, if your are running 35's, re gear that sucker. I went to 4.56 gears and I not only can use and hold 6th gear all day, I can even accelerate and pass. It is a night and day difference. On the other end, it it a beast off the line in 1st gear and the crawl ratio in low range is somewhere around 90:1 or maybe even 95:1. (I've not done the actual math, but it is definitely better than stock with 33's. It made the 6 speed really come alive and made that 6th gear actually useful.

I've got 5.13s and an ACT clutch sitting in the garage waiting to go in. Probably going to do it around early Spring.

Looked at mine and yep, exact same way.....

Lol, that’s hilarious. Now I’m going to have to take a look at mine ?

I looked at mine and now I am sorry I did.

It's a feature! lol or "It's a Jeep thing" I guess

It adds character

Definitely. Nothing I'm over concerned with. I have a 2020 so mine didn't originally have the gear display. Not until after the update.

Do you have the larger 7” display for the gauge cluster or the normal one in your sport?

It'll be great. You could run 40's with that gearing and probably use 6th gear.

I still don't have the gear display. But I don't trust the dealer for anything.

 

[4xjeepr]

I have the standard one. Mine is a Sport S.
