    Anything is better than what I have, but it looks like Burris has given me dibs on the Swampers which are what I really wanted...

    Can my stock **** hold up 36s? Keep in mind I'm open so there will be slippage at the diff.....

    not right away but I do have the toyota t-case

    4.x * 2.y * 2.28 * 4.1 = 75-133

    Somewhere in that range but I don't know the actual reduction numbers for my truck. Going by an Aussie Mazda it would be:

    4.415 * 2.21 * 2.28 * 4.1 = 91:1 Good enough?

    Let's do a comparison....

    31 * Pi = 97.4" circumference right now
    36 * Pi = 113.1"

    (113-97.4) / 97.4 = 16% more distance per rev.

    4.415 * 2.21 * 4.1 = 40:1 currently

    (91-40)/40 = 127% lower gearing.

    this is with dual cases, are you goin to put those in before wheelin it?

    if so why didn't you just wait till you graduated and put the mazda in storage and build it later?

    I'm sure it can handle 16% loss of power for a few months.....

    Didn't Suzie have 33s and 3.55s? Did you give her ****? I know my motor has more balls than hers does.....

    33 * Pi / 3.55 = 29"/rev
    36 * Pi / 4.10 = 27.6"/rev

    All that math for nothing because I was editing while you were posting? Damnit. I'm not really gearing to do any major wheeling until SB. I'm going to work my ass off during CB to buy some more crap including that adapter.

    one thing that yall are forgetting is that even though he does have 4.10 gears(same for any 4cyl jeep for that matter) they are still stock gears. so you cant really compare a vehicle that came stock with 3.07's to one that came stock with 4.10's.


    here is an example with real life vehicles that we all know and not nessacarily love.

    Vehicle 1: We'll say its a 1999 Jeep Tj with a 6cyl, auto, stock 3.07 gears...maybe it is maroon with a green undercarraige or maybe it isnt...when it was lifted and put on 33's it needed to be regeared to 4.10's

    Vehicle 2: We'll say this one is a 1997 Jeep Tj wiith a 4cyl, standard, and stock 4.10's...maybe this one is blue and in corpus right now but then again maybe its not...when it was lifted and put on 33's it needed to be regeared to 4.56's




    noiw the 4.10's in vehcile 1 worked great when the vehicle was lifted...because they were lower then stock. however with a slightly smaller tire on vehicle 2, the same gears as in vehicle 1(4.10's) were no longer adaquate.


    anyone see what im getting at? Nutz, if your gonna go to 36's then i would put atleaste 5.13's or 5.29's in the diffs. 4.10's with that size tire or even with 33's will be pretty underpowered. if you dont believe me, go burn up a few clutches trying to make it up a hill with out enough gearing...ive seen it before...

    i dont really care to get into explaining why lower gears are better for crawling and a purpose built TRAIL RIG because if you dont already know then its not worth my time. I say 4.88s or deeper unless you plan on adding some V8 power.
