Great looking Jeep. Enjoy it before you start spending money on it.

This. You’ll be amazed at what you can do with stock axles & open diffs.

[LJ owner]

I just bought my first jeep this week. As far as I know so far, it's got 35s, a 3 inch lift, and a long arm kit for mods, and has a 4.0l/5 sp manual with 3.73 gears.

I plan on using it for running to the store/gas station and other small errands, and off roading on unmaintained county roads, creeks, and medium level trails. Don't plan on rock crawling with it or doing anything too crazy.

I plan on regearing to 4.10 gears, getting lockers, upgrading the dana 30 axles to chromoly, and upgrading to a super 35 kit for the rear. Would this be strong enough for my intended use?

Are there any specific brands/specs I should look into for the 4.10 gears and the super 35 kit? Anything I should avoid? Also anything else I should look into upgrading? Thanks for the help

I have an LJ with a 4.0L, 6sp manual, 4:10s, and 33" tires and am planning to change the gears to 4:56s. I did it with my previous 4x4(a pick up) and didn't regret it. I'm not a serious rock crawler but I think you will find that the 4:56s will allow your 5th gear to work better at highway speeds. Any decent hill and I'm downshifting early. Its not like a jeep is a hi speed monster anyway.

I'd go with 4.88 or you're just wasting money (4.10 to 4.56) IMO. The OP has 35s.
