I totally agree. Wheeling should be fine, but your drive will suck. On my old TJ I never regeared and trails and such were fine, it was the highway and hills that made me want to shoot myself.

So i have a six speed with 4:10 gears as well as the flashpaq, will my jeep be able to perform well in moab or should i cancel the trip and wait till next year after i regear.

Please help me with this all info will be read and thought over so even a little will help
I think the highway drive will be the only point you wish you had regeared, if you're trailering it, even better. You'll be fine off-road in Moab for sure =) Have fun!!!

Well I really don't have to worry with the highway driving to there I have a tow rig for that. I was just worried with the performance on the trails I wanna have a blast and not work my jeep to death, so with what y'all are saying i will be fine on the not so crazy trails
