(speedos aren't known for their accuracy on these vehicles anyway, and are often only dead-on at one given speed.) cheers! e On 02/Jul/12 14:51, Jim Blair wrote: > Since he has 235/75/15s now instead of stock 205/75/15s, going to 3.73 > instead of the current 3.55 will return the power and make the speedo > more accurate as well > > > From: ernestb-at-backyardengineering.org > > To: xj-at-digest.net; carnuck-at-hotmail.com; proj96xj-at-insightbb.com; > jsterling-at-sterlingnetworks.net; john-at-wagoneers.com > > CC: fsj-at-digest.net > > Subject: RE: xj: RE: fsj: Re: gearing Q > > Date: Mon, 2 Jul 2012 14:31:50 -0700 > > > > are we talking XJs here? > > FWIW, the factory tow package for some years in XJs used 3.73s, with the > > same size tires. > > be prepared to have to change the speedo drive gear in order to get > > everything back in line. > > > > > > cheers! > > e > > > > > -------- Original Message -------- > > > Subject: xj: RE: fsj: Re: gearing Q > > > From: El PROFESOR 4X4 > > > Date: Sat, June 30, 2012 7:39 am > > > To: JIM BLAIR JEEP EXPERT , > > > , , JOHN > > > MEISTER > > > Cc: , > > > > > > > > > I found out I have 3.55s on it. > > > So, final question: for towing, should I go to 3.73 or 4.10? > > > No tire change involved. > > > > > > Thanks! > > > Dan > > > > > > From: carnuck-at-hotmail.com > > > To: proj96xj-at-insightbb.com; jsterling-at-sterlingnetworks.net; > > > john-at-wagoneers.com; profesor4x4-at-hotmail.com > > > CC: fsj-at-digest.net; xj-at-digest.net > > > Subject: RE: fsj: Re: gearing Q > > > Date: Sat, 30 Jun 2012 07:20:07 -0700 > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > I also have 4:1 in Blackjack (NV241 OR) > > > > > > Jim Blair, Lynnwood, WA '87 Comanche, '83 Jeep J10, '84 Jeep J10 > > > > > > > > > > From: proj96xj-at-insightbb.com > > > > To: jsterling-at-sterlingnetworks.net; carnuck-at-hotmail.com; > john-at-wagoneers.com; > > > profesor4x4-at-hotmail.com > > > > CC: fsj-at-digest.net; xj-at-digest.net > > > > Subject: Re: fsj: Re: gearing Q > > > > Date: Fri, 29 Jun 2012 20:11:13 -0400 > > > > > > > > 4.88s in my XJ running 36" SXs > > > > 4:1 t-case gears help, too! > > > > ; ) > > > > > > > > Neal A.
