Looking for a rear detroit and 4.10s for my 8.8 if any one hears of any thing.
The attempt it to try 4.10s on 33s but we'll see.

4.0l 4.10 33" tires 5speed manual is a great combo for street driving. That's what my dad's xj has, it gets up and goes..

that seems a little light....
if you are going to regear you might as well go as deep as you can. 4.56 or even 4.88 would be sweet with 33"s.
even with an ax-15 most guys I have wheeled with are happier the deeper they go.
Well.
Thanks to James Provencher, we got a HP vacuum disco axle but when we got home because of some ridiculous axle swapping going on here with Mateo, we had the opportunity to trade it for a non vacuum disco axle with 4.10 gears (open carrier).
The axle was FILTHY so beamer spent the morning cleaning it and painted it up...
We are in the process of pulling the 2WD beam out now...
and we coated the floor that was repaired with floor sealant....

This is what we were thinking and it would be the cheapest way out for us right now. This will be a daily driver so that might do him well.
We know the deeper the better but we are also considering low transfer case options. I run a klune in my MJ and with the additional wheelbase the MJ can take a doubler easily with a driveline that is still longer than an XJ. I want to do some digging into what all of our budget options are but for now and to start we'll be trying it out with 3.73s.

I know Beamer plans on driving it on the street and probably hauling all of his tools and lumber with it so having a little extra throttle response might be nice 
3.73"s will be fine.
and I'd love to see a t-case doubler in that thing.... 6:1 yes:shhh:

driving without a track bar is probably not a good idea :dunce:
you going double shear or stock style?
I am a slave driver.
Older Tera ones I had laying around.
Highly overrated. I drove from Big Bear home without one once :gee:
It is supposed to be a RE extreme duty track bar and bracket.
