Re: Wrangler question
This depends on how you define it. A "lower" gear ratio, according to the
way many people define it, actually has a higher numerical value. This is
of course crazy. I should have said "higher number" and "lower number" to
remove any trace of ambiguity. To make it real simple, stay away from the
3.07.
