    2006 re-gear

    I'm new to the forum, so I apologize in advance if this isn't where to post this. I'm looking for some opinions on this pattern I just ran. I'm regearing my LJ to 4.88 yukon gears and installing an ARB locker in the rear. The pictures attached have the latest patterns i just got and below are...

    Spend my money for me

    I’ve got plans for my TJ. Some big ones. I would appreciate some advice or pointers for those of you that have done similar work. Here’s the build plan. 1: Fix the lifter (it’s nocking, go figure) 2: New exhaust, I want it to growl more 3: Regear the axles, (30 front, 44 rear) I hear you can...

    Jeep Re-gear Vibrations

    Hi all! There's so many posts on this but all from like 4+ years ago regarding this issue. I see some solved it and some did not, or at least that's where the conversation ended. I've got a 2006 Jeep LJ with 33" tires, 2" lift, non-rubicon, regeared to 5.13 for future 35s. I've developed...

    Factory air lockers

    So I’m looking at doing a re gear on my axles and I was wondering what years did the tj have air lockers for the rubicon. (My axles were swaped) And I was also wonder if I could use the factory air system and just hook it up to arb air lockers, any help would be appreciated

    Re-gearing

    I know there’s probably 5000 of these posts but you guys are extremely specific and helpful, so I’m gonna ask. I have a 2003, stick, 2.3 wrangler that had 33’s on it when I bought it. It was a dog. 5th gear was completely useless. I went down to 31’s and it’s much better. My question is, what...

    Gear pattern question 4.56 Yukons Eaton Truetrac

    Currently working on regearing my 97’ TJ with Yukon 4.56 R&P and Eaton TruTrac front and rear on the Dana 35/30 with 33” tires 5speed. Timken bearings and races with the Yukon master install kits for both. I am running into some issues with the Dana 35. To start off, reused the factory shim...

    Dana 44 Ring gear excessive runout

    First time regearing an axle. Watched a lot of videos, read books etc but have a few questions and a problem. This is a stock Dana 44 out of a 2006 LJ. The carrier shims were on the outside of the carrier bearing races. The driver side (carrier side) was .143” and the passenger side (ring...

    Upgrading Dana 35 to a Super Dana 35 and installing a locker in front Dana 30

    Hello, I am very new to wheeling but I understand that if I want to put 35s on my TJ. I need to either get a ford 8.8(I really don't want to swap my axle) or do a Super 35 kit. I know that the super 35 upgrades the weak 27 spline shaft to a 30 spline. But I am confused on weather or not I can...

    Looking for input on an off-road capable, daily driver build

    Now that my 2003 X has become my daily driver, I’m looking for some advice on ways to create a more capable off-reader that still holds its own on the highways. I live in Central Texas, so being able to drive 75mph is a must if I’m going to get anywhere. Right now, I’ve got the 4.0L with...

    Re-gearing my Dana 35 to 4.56 from 3.07

    I’ve been adjusting this axle back and forth for a couple days now. And after getting the drive and coast to match each other at the toe, I’ve been able to get the drive pattern perfect but the coast pattern hasn’t moved. Even after moving the ring gear 20 thousandths to the left and the pinion...

    Another Ring Gear Thread

    Alright. Looked for a good reference on contact patch but I don’t know where the line is for good vs bad. I’ve seen some that are close to mine, but I don’t feel qualified to make the call that it’s good. I’m skeptical because this is the first pattern I’ve run and I don’t believe I’m that lucky...

    What carrier and spider gears do I need to buy to keep my LSD?

    Hi , I have a 2003 Jeep TJ Sahara 4.0L 5-Speed with Dana 30 front Dana 44 rear. I am busy with a regear from 3.07 to 4.56 because I am running 33" tires. I already bought the Yukon 4.56 Gear ratio kits for the front and rear. I also bought carrier for the front with the spider gears but my problem is...

    Re-gearing axles: What ratio should I go with

    Hi everyone, I’ve had 35” tires with stock 3.73 gears for like 2 years now and I’m putting in a front locker and a rear 8.8, and I figure that now would be the time to re gear, 3.73s currently suck on 35s i hardly ever even get into 5th gear. What gear ratio should I run on 35” mud tires, 4.0...
