I am not going to make fun of you even though you left the door wide open.

I gave my honest opinion. If that didn't set right with you then that is your problem not mine.

LOL. Don't make me post a video,.......for the sake of others.

My ways may be unconventional. But i promise you it performs. That is all I care about is performance.

If it bogged or had any remote sign of loss of power the gears would be gone in a nano second.

39.5'S. Case in point. I pick on you because you flood this forum with horrible advice.

I'm pretty sure I can look back to last year and find you post on how long arms, lockers, and gearing are useless and UN necessary. How about your love for blocks? Hot knifing bald tires to the chords? Rc lift love? Rustys love?

I'm just sick of your crappy info You try to give new members.

Alright. I figured I would post this video to show real world application of 36" tires with stock gearing and 2.5" of lift.

The auto tranny worked very good did not get hot. This entire video was in low range 1st gear. Which is all I ever run even with 32" tires. The jeep is locked front and rear with stock axles. It has very good power for off road. It absolutely sucks on the road and I would never suggest stock gearing for this size tire on the road. I want to be clear about that.

Vid in just a second.

Stock gearing test.:

I find it hard to believe your tranny doesn't get hot with 36's. I ran 35's and my tranny got really hot even with a large aftermarket cooler to the point where it would start to slip a little I dropped back to 33x10.50's and it run much cooler and has not slipped a bit since. even with stock gears.



But you do tend to do everything different then others on here
