Sounds like Death Rattle to me. You might as well
just hand the keys to the junk yard.

Gettin all 5, I have a hard top. So all 5 for 150 seems to be the best deal. Just wasn't sure if someone on here knew how to do it or can do it cheap. No worries.

Next Question :

I am puttin on 35's I have a 6sp. What will be the best gears to get for off roading along with everyday driving? I was told that 5.13's are pretty much the way to go, possible 4.88's. I dont want to be going 60mph at 4000 rpm. Anyone have gears done and can tell me how it runs? Insight will be greatly appreciated.

70x4.88x336
__________ = 3,279 RPM
35

But, that's at a 1:1, which means 5th gear @ 70 MPH. At 0.84, which is 6th gear, should put you at about 2754 RPM, which is a perfect powerband RPM for the 3.8.

With 5.13s, it'll put you at 2,895 RPM @ 70 MPH, a tad too high in my opinion. I've found 2,650-2,750 RPM to be perfect in terms of holding speed at highway with cruise control, plus, the best MPG.

4.46x4.88x2.72 = 59.2 low range. Low, but still better than stock.
