Whats to coolest, unusual, or creepy stuff you have seen on the trails in PA? Lets hear some cool stuff or some ghost stories

 

gut road some one cut the head off little white dog and tossed it in one the mud pits we just happen to get stuck in years ago

 

ran into some crazy looking guy walking around with a bowie knife...hunting mushrooms...

 

A redneck midget (complete with flannel and John Deere belt buckle) standing under a flexed out F150 on Trails Rd. lol wish I had a picture

 

I saw the Susquehanna merman.... we Were wheeling down by gut rd, in the "rock garden" and we saw a dude, probably pushing 350lbs, laying on a rock in the middle of the river wearing what appeared to be a speedo and nothing else.

 

Need some advice

I'm regearing my axles and I've read the multiple charts across the interweb, all signs point 4.56. I'm running 33x12.50's with a d30 and a chrysler 8.25. What do you guys think? Go with the 4.56's?

 

What trans do u have?

 

Do you plan on going with bigger tires anytime soon? 4.56 would be good for 33s. but if you plan on going to 35s soon, just throw 4.88s in it and be done.

Neal, he has an aw4

 

From what I read in few threads, with an aw4 u should go one gear higher than stated on the chart. I may be wrong but that's what it led me to believe.

Someone correct me?

 

Honestly it all depends on what you want to do with the Jeep. Whether it's a street Queen, mud truck or rock buggy.

 

i'd go 4.56s if you like fuel economy on the street, should be plenty for offroad also. Hell, i rock 3.07s with 33s offroad just fine

 

Out of curiosity. How would 4.10's do with 33's on highway?

 

The smaller the gear number the lower the rpm will be at 65mph, but there is a such thing as too low. Also if you run 3.55s it puts more strain on your trans/t case, where as 4.56s for instance, transfers the strain to your axles more then trans/tcase. It's a delicate balance lol

 

I had 33s and 4.10's on my old Ranger, and it did okay on the highway, but it was a struggle to hit 70mph. Granted, this was a little 3.0 engine we're talking, but fuel mileage was very good also, about 18-20mpg highway. 4.56s would've been better yet.

 

As I said, is a delicate balance, but your Ranger is a good example. The lower# gears helped Highway mileage but hurt city. The 4.56s would have helped city and hurt Highway a bit. But I think all in all fuel mileage would have been better with the 4.56s.
