Thanks guys. Come join us anytime and you can borrow my rig to fly the dunes. It some of the most fun high-speed offroading you can do in jeep. Travel to Dubai is very easy right now - only requires a Negative PCR test and no quarantine to enter. Weather is perfect from November - March.

Been saving up for a set of King Shocks for half my life and now that I'm ready to take the plunge they have a wait time of 6-12months!! I've got a TJ Sport with a 2.5" lift and 32" Tires which I use for desert dune driving where we are doing high speeds and big dunes at times and need to...

Thanks - thats great to know.

So I did some calculations on this regearing (see attached screenshot). These numbers are based on 1 RPM of input and for a 2005 TJ Sport with the NSG 370 manual transmission. Please let me know if I have made any errors in these calculations. My most useful and best gears in the big dunes are...

Thanks - let me know how the new gears turn out in your TJ !

Thanks guys - really appreciate it. I had no idea that the air lockers replace the carriers - that is great to know. I got a reply from the guys at Northridge 4x4 and they are telling me to get this "thick" gear set for the rear. But is that even necessary if I am getting air lockers? This is...

Hi Everyone, Nice to join this group. I have a 2005 Manual Transmission TJ Sport with a Dana 30 in the front and Dana 44 in the rear - currently running stock 3.73 gears. I am on 32" Cooper STT Pros which I deflate to 7psi when riding in the desert (and no - they have never popped off - TJs are...
