    What gear ratio should I install in my Jeep Wrangler TJ / LJ? (and other re-gearing FAQs)

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Finished the block cleaning after changing the valve cover gasket. Then waxed the Jeep and cleaned the windows in preparation of a trip next week to Lone Pine to run Steel Canyon and Lippencott Road/ Pass. We are nice and clean now, so let’s go get her dirty!

    Currie 4" lift and Savvy tummy tuck. Who needed manual hubs and who didnt?

    I have the TT, 1 1/4” BL, and 4” Currie springs. I installed all that with 4.88 gears and the vibration at highway speed was too much for me. I couldn’t use the mirrors, they were vibrating so much. So I had the hubs installed.

    Went up to Big Bear and did John Bull and Holcomb Creek trails. This is the gate keeper at John Bull. Lots of fun on big rocks.

    Best speedometer fix for Rubicons in 2024?

    I just installed the Jet AccuSpeed and it works fine so far. I wired it into my wire loom near the PCM, drilled a hole in the firewall(scary) and mounted it in the glovebox area. It was easy to calibrate and it is holding the setting well.

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    I installed a front license plate holder from BMB. @mrblaine does such fantastic work on the customer experience! The shipping, packaging and the delivery notices are all above and beyond any other supplier I have used. The license plate holder is an elegant design that finishes off the front...
