Re: 4.10 best general-purpose gear ratio?
my rubicon runs 31s on 4.10 and i find it to be the perfect ratio for the
4.0. if i want to i can pull away from most hondas at the stop light, and
thanks to the overdrive its perfectly at home at 80mph. i wont even get
into how awesome it is off road.
i like:
30" - 3.73
31"/32" - 4.10
33" - 4.56
35" - 4.88
36"/37" - 4.10/4.56 w/ v8 swap

Seems like most (not all) people say 4.10 with 31" tires is a good
combination. I have that combo on my '76 CJ5 with 3-speed 1:1 third
gear and I'm just running at too-high of RPMs on the highway. About
3000 RPM at 68 MPH...or at least I should say 3000 RPM with the speedo
*reads* 68 MPH. I'm not sure if it's reading correctly... Anyone
know what the stock tire size on a '76 CJ5 is anyway? Ideally I'd
like to go with a taller tire and keep my 4.10s and get a lower gear
setup for my transfer case. We'll see how it works out. :-) If I
had an overdrive transmission then the 31", 4.10 combo would probably
work pretty well.
