What gear? That is the question that plagues my mind!
If I follow Roxtars math from his FAQ post "What gear ratio do I want?"
and insert my stock 3.07s for my manual 5 speed.
I end up with 3.75(33") or 3.97 (35") that gets me back to the stock ratio. 4.10 would be OK but would going to 4.56 be too much or even enough (4.88)? I don't think going any bigger than 35 would be wise on the D30, any larger I will be getting new axles anyway and all this is moot.
The rig is not my DD as I have a work vehicle for that, but it does get me around town after work and on weekends when I am not out wheeling. I am not too worried about gas other than being able to get out to the trails.
Thick gears vs a new carrier (?), what are your thoughts on that?
Yes, it is a HP, original from my 1999 XJ, and I recently aquired a 1987 XJ D44 with limited slip also currently at 3.07.
I was thinking of an auto lock on the front. Hard to beat that Lokka/Aussie for $195 compared to $700+ +air for selectable. Maybe after I get caught back up in the wallet LOL.
Thanks for your time and thoughts.
