Well, that did not happened, except for some real hardcore wheeling. The jury is even still out on gussets and sleeves for the front axle.

I am trying to figure out for sure if I have 3.73s or 4.10s. My build sheet did not specify, but by the way she drives on 35s, I am thinking its 4.10s. How can I tell fore sure without marking the axel and spinning?

I have a 2012 JKU Rubi with an auto, 4.10's, and 35's. I drive mostly city and average 13.5 mpg. At 70mph I'm turning roughly 2400rpm when it's in OD so I think the chart posted is pretty close when showing 2355rpm at 70.
Not digging my MPG, but hell, we're driving boxes on wheels. If I do re-gear, I'll probably go to 4.56's. Wonder what it will do to my mileage?
