I just thought that was how Texans did it...... Figured it was a new style.
OP
What can I do? I’m at 56:1 now. 488 gears doesn’t help much, a 4:1 TCase or Atlas! Can’t do a rubicrawler w my 6speed.
OP
That guy was the cameraman for all the posers. His hand and verbal signals were horrible. Left and right. We were both outside the Jeep staring at it at one point (bc I don’t trust him), and I said, what do you mean left? He said, from the drivers perspective.
can’t you just say driver and passenger?! Geez
OP
The only thing I notice is much less body roll. I feel way more stable, and articulation is unaffected. Tires staying firmly planted.
OP
I didn’t know what that guy was saying. There was no clear path and the spotter was a dope.
It's why most run a auto. It makes things so much smoother.
We could make it 82:1, I have a 4:1Tera-Low 231 in my shop taking up space you could have if you want to work out shipping. It would be a straight up bolt in with no mods to your current setup. We need to develop a Forum Pony Express so we could ship things amongst ourselves from forum member to forum member. I could bring it to TJ Fest if you wanna do a beer and busted knuckle night while we’re there.
@JMT jump on this. Just keep the rpms low while in 4 low and it will last a long time.We could make it 82:1, I have a 4:1Tera-Low 231 in my shop taking up space you could have if you want to work out shipping.

Absolutely, would love. Would owe you big time! I’ll PM you to work out the details.We could make it 82:1, I have a 4:1Tera-Low 231 in my shop taking up space you could have if you want to work out shipping.

The TeraLow 4:1 got some bad rep because people didn't follow the directions about not over reving the engine when in low range.
I had one in my TJ behind my 4 cyl for about 2 years before I swapped it out. And then it went into a friends YJ with a 4 cyl and she is still driving it. Download the directions and follow them and IMO you won't have any issues. And you'll LOVE the low range for everything but mud and snow. Just remember to put it in high range for those situations. I had 4.88 gears in my TJ but I was also running 35" tires. And I'll be honest I think I over rev'd it a few times myself.
Oh boy! Sounds like the little Wrangler X is moving up to big boy territory and becoming a Rubi-Not!
Seriously though, you'll love the 4:1. It's pretty amazing... Until you get stuck in the mud.

Wish I could... Fact of life, wheeling in michigan.
I'm sure I still have some Michigan mud hiding somewhere on mine. You should head to the Minnesota Iron range, it's red there.
To be honest I never had any issues with it in the mud either. You just need to watch your RPM's and don't spin it up past 2500-3000 much. I know I loved it with my 4 popper.
Now my STaK's is a whole other animal.
therein lies the problem. Wheelspeed is king in Mud, and if you have to limit your RPM's, that is an issue. I've tried high range in mud, and the snotty, sticky, clay based mud we have here will burn up a clutch in a HURRY...if you stop. If you hammer through, its no issue at all! lol
A lot of times, there isn't a bottom either...you just keep digging until your on the frame.
