Have now re-geared the TJ!
Went from 3.08 to 4.56 (based on suggestion from this group) on the TJ. Now
running 3K RPM at 75 mph, a little high to suit me. Plenty of power in 5th gear! Probably go with 35's when I ware out the 33's... should be just right then! (The question in the back of my mind now: Should I have gone with 4.10's ?) -- JimG 80' CJ-7 258 CID, HEI 4.56 Gears, Lock-Right F&R 35" BFG MT on 15x10 Centerlines D44 Rear, D30 Front.

Re: Have now re-geared the TJ!
I had 4.10 gearing with 33" tires for a few years and I hated the
combination, the rpms were low enough that I was always downshifting to get up even minor grades. I'm a strong believer in the 4.56/33" tire combination for a Jeep with a 5-speed manual tranny. :) Jerry -- Jerry Bransford PP-ASEL N6TAY See the Geezer Jeep at http://members.cox.net/jerrypb/ "JimG" <jimg@2muchspam.com> wrote in message news:6T%7d.8242$Aa.1458@news02.roc.ny... > Went from 3.08 to 4.56 (based on suggestion from this group) on the TJ. > Now > running 3K RPM at 75 mph, a little high to suit me.

Re: Have now re-geared the TJ!
Hi Jerry,
Your recommendation weighed heavy in my decision. It just seems that 3K at 75 MPH is bit high. I was able to drive from southern WV to our capitol and never come out of 5th (except for the stupid tolls) which is about 2,500 feet of altitude change. I guess unless you drive both setups in all conditions, it's hard to tell what is optimal.

Well, it's not just me that likes the 4.56/33" tire combination, that is for
sure.
