Re: Have now re-geared the TJ!
According to the calculator at Randy's, you should be turning a little
less than 2800 RPM at 75 MPH - speedo is probably off too since the
regear

Re: Have now re-geared the TJ!
Hi Tookie,
Speedo is definitely off! My data is based on my GPS readings, speedo is
off by 20 MPH at 70-75 MPH. Ordered new speedo gear today to fix that!
