You can feel it back there but I never had any problems accelerating to 60-65mph or maintaining that speed, even up hills. If I had stock tires or if I was regeared it'd be 10x better or more. I'm still using stock 4.10 gears with my 35" Nittos.

You could say I'm an AR nut. Got a Bushmaster .223 varmiter with smooth hand gaurds, open sites, an Armalite AR-15 with 16" barrell with optical sights, and an AR-10T with a 24" SS barell with a Leupold 10x40mm scope. have a few other rifles too. A knock off AK-47, a 1960s Draganov SVD-137 7.62mm with a PSO-1 scope. Working on my collection of hand guns now. Have a Sig P239 .40cal and a Kimber 1911 black with wood grain pistol grips.





I got my Crown 6" lift rear brake lines installed today. Super easy. Took maybe 20 min total. Hardly even needed any brake fluid. I topped it off before I removed the stockers, bled them and when I was done it was right at the max line.

Glad you haven't abandoned us Randy. Hopefully Ed will stick around too - we JKers need to hang together.

I have drawn the conclusion that it is a lot harder than i originally thought. Was teetering on doing it myself but am now having second thoughts. Would have to by the measuring tools as well listed in the thread.

What i need to do is compile a price list on what it would take to regear and beef up the axels vs new axels all together. The labor alone quote my neighbor got from Rocket City to regear his TJ front and rear was over $600. Then again, new axels are not cheap.
I wonder if we could work out some kind of local group deal with Rocket City. Sounds like there are at least four of us (Tony, Steve, Anthony, and myself) ready to pull the trigger on gears.

Perhaps if we could figure out how to do one, we could do all of them roughly in the same general time frame (within a week or two helping each other).
