well for the most part my jeep has been only offroad and a couple days ago i took her to the gas station and wow im slow!!! and holy crap my tires were soo loud ( but that did not really bother me) its a 4 banger with stock axels that have 4.88 gears and im running 38.5 super swamper boggers. am i so slow just because of my gearing? or is the little 4-banger not strong enough to pull the big tires? it does fine offroad(but in offroad im not going that fast) so i kinda just wanna know what is up with it
cuz i really dont think im gonna get on the freeway with it, i dont think ill be able to catch up with everybody

 

Small engine, small gear, big tire it all doesn't add up to a highway flyer that's for sure.

 

I read that a d35 should only have 33's as the max tire size. Anyway, as long as it's not your DD... Those are some huge tires though.

 

...Tj

 

38.5's on stock axles.....somethings gona break.

 

I had a 81 toyota pickup with 38's Super swampers and the thing was great off road but on the highway in regular gear it was a slug. I blamed it on the 4 banger under the hood. And the steering was terrible because of the withed of the tires And yea I had to scream over my tire noise. So I put a loud stereo in it. other than that it was all good times in the swamp

 

haha just a small rock

 

Awesome flares, look on the bright side, no speeding tickets. I can only hit about 60 safely and so what our stuff is built to creep .

 

I think I said it before but I like the look of it with the chop and what not. And yeah hugh tires low gears and 4cl = not to fast on the highway.

 

[quote=tampaviking=quote]Awesome flares,


thanx i made them myself




-so im thinking on maby just swapping a six into it

 

I would think re-gearing would be a better first choice.

 

sweet jeep man!!! them tires are massive!

 

The extra power would help but so would some dada 60's with some more gearing.

 

Thats a badass ride!

 

yeah well if i get bigger axels then im stuck with regular gearing, and i really like my 4.88(it just sucks because its in a dana 35)
i think im just gonna find a one ton truck and swap all the drive tran, maby even the steering box(ill be able to turn with my fingers)


because i think ill be able to find one for pretty cheap(its better than buying the axels by themself)
