Re: stock engine and large tires
 

Wow that was the exact jeep I was looking at when I thought this up. It has
a chevy 350 in it though, for the bigger tires. I was wondering if I did
have rockwells and proper gearing and all, would the 190hp 232lb-ft torque
(or close to that) power of the i6 be able to turn those 44's down the
highway at 65mph? If not would it at least give me enough power for muddin?

My jeep already has a 4 inch lift w/33's and 4.56 gears and lockers, etc. I
was gonna put all that on my gf's jeep when it's paid for and upgrade my
own, muahaha. I only have 55000 miles on the i6 in it now, and it's going
strong so I dont wanna get rid of it until its dying day.
