Lol go get some 33s, you'll be much happier. Or grow a few inches taller and buy the 35's I'm sellin :D

Yeah they look like they've got about 1/3 tread left... enough to last the few weeks I'll have between the trails opening and my ship date, then I'll worry about replacing em when I'm home.

That rig looks to be about as much fun to drive on the road as I imagine Truggy is. In your words, if I have to saddle up in that thing it'd better be for a fun trail.

I would, as I have 5in of lift, But I don't want to re-gear or lose the Power.
 
Same issue I am having.. I don't want to pay to get regeared :(
 
me on 6.5" of lift with 32"s doesnt look bad... but it might once I cut. I want 33's bad..

God no... you just gotta keep your eyes open. There are great deals on CL for gears/geared axles all the time. I was all set to regear to 4.88 with my red Jeep before I got rid of it, and I was only out $200 for both axles.

SPOBI.

First thing: Never buy used gears unless you're confident in the seller and his reasons for selling used gears.

Second: Unless you're gonna install the gears yourself (not recommended unless you truely know what you're doing and have the right tools - I don't even install my own gears......), you're looking at a minimum of $200 per axle for install, $90 - $130 per axle for the master install kit, and then the cost of the gears........ and don't forget that for the most part, gear sets 4:10 and higher will require a different carrier, or a full carrier locker to install them.

But it's true - if you're patient, you can score built axles ready to bolt in every now and then........ Just ask Beezle - $600 for a matched set HP D30/8.25 with 456's, EZ locker in front, Powertrax lunchbox for the rear. (God, I musta been insane....... :doh:)

:D


BTW: Anyone wanting to have their axles professionally re-geared, get with Terry (87xjco) - he cuts as good a deal as there is out there and has/will do all my gear work. :thumbup: ......... unless Led will do it for free...... :laugh3:

Yeah Dang I would have bought those axles for sure!

I think 4.11 works stock right? and thats about what one would want for 33's?
