Haha you and me both, my funds are running short. And ill probably stick with 3.55's till i save up enough for new gears.

Is that chart correct? I've been considering 4.10 gears and 33s in the future, but 2700rpms at highway speed is ridiculous. I have a 5 speed. I'm relatively new to all of this, but is my 5th gear like an overdrive? between 4th and 5th gear right now my rpms drop roughly 400rpms. Right now, I have 31s with 3.07 gears, and am at 1900rpms at 65mph.


don't mean to thread jack, just wanted a little clarity.

anyways....

Awesome cherokee! I've got the same color, but my flares are black. Yours makes me want a new bumper BAD. haha

cant wait to see more pictures of what you've done to it!

Well finally got all my brake lines re-done for $200 I also put on some new distributer plugs to replace the piece of junk stock ones. Plus i waxed and washed her, also washed the underside of the jeep and greased all the bushings. This is what the new stance looks like with the new wheels!

Well i finally got some new tires yesterday, theyre federal couragia m/t 31x10.50's. They are great tires, took it up a old logging trail that has alot of big rocks and they did great, they didnt slip at all. With the next couple pay checks im either gonna get currie, or rubicon express adjustable control arms, uppers and lowers, cant wait!!!
