Re: 93 YJ rear end
Now that's what I wanna hear,,,, I really won't be doing anything severe, no
giant rocks, mostly mud and forest type stuff -
Should I gear up the rear (and front) for better gas mileage with the 31's?
thanks

Re: 93 YJ rear end
No, you have what is or used to be called 'highway gears' designed for
the best gas mileage. We used to call gears in the 400's 1/4 mile
gears. Good for fast pickup at the expense of mileage.
You have a torque converter for low rpm crawling power so gearing down
isn't really going to help you there.
You will see the 'perceived' mileage drop with larger tires, but that
has to do with the diameter change. I 'dropped' about 4 mpg when I went
33's over 31's but if I take the diameter difference into play, I get
almost exactly the same 'real' mileage which mine now is actually. I
have checked my speedometer with a good GPS and it is set up right now
so I am getting a 'real' 23 US mpg and my CJ7 goes like a scalded cat.
And I sure can think of better ways to blow a grand than changing
gears....
