    So, that means that in my manual, I have 4.10?!?!?! :confused:
    I've heard everybody talking about #s in the 3's. (3.0, 3.72, etc.)
    That sounds like an awefully high #.
    But...then again... I know about:
    <------That much about mechanical stuffs!

    (but I'm learning!)

    I have the 4-banger, 2000 SE. No sport. No Rubi. Just a JEEP!!!
    If you have an auto you have 3.73 gears, regear to 4.56 for 33's
    If you have a manual you have 4.10 gears, regear to 4.88 for 33's

    easier on the engine, restores lost power, keeps the engine in its powerband, less stress on drivetrain components (axle shafts, transfer case output shaft, u-joints, etc.)

    as to stock jeeps, different gears: the 4 banger has lower gears since the engine revs higher to get its power, while the 6-cyl has higher gears since the engine doesn't need to spin as fast. another situation might be a tow package.

    your axles *should* have tags on them indicating the gear ratio, assuming they haven't been lost, or the axle has already been regeared.

    Regearing allows the engine to spin more times per wheel rotation so it is easier on the engine to spin the big tires and keep the RPMs right where they should be..........................I think...

    Simple answer: Larger tires give the feeling of a loss of power. Regearing fixes that.

    Why Re-Gear?

    Trying to learn all I can, and I keep seeing threads about regearing. Why would you do this? What would it do? Why are two of the "almost" same jeeps stock with different gears? What gears would one want to go to? What's the benefit?
    Just spill it! Tell all!!! What's the deal with regearing?!?!
    (I know I have to jack my babe up then spin her tires and see how many times this spin equals that spin and how long it takes the moon to rotate three times and pass the sun and I will know what gears I personally have.) <----- Aside from that way, how do I figure out what gears I have and if they are appropriate?
    Thanks!
