I would rather have 3.55

 

can you explain why and what exactly the gearing does for me in terms of off road and on road application? Thank you

 

It's just a thing. That's the factory gearing. You would determine if anyone had swapped the axles/gearset

If you want to run larger tires well, you need deeper gears.

ah ok thank you for clearing that up

 

and thank you very much for this link!

 

No problem

 

Count the teeth on the ring and pinion then divide the big number by the little number.

 

​​​​​thank you very much 👍

Oh and turns out POR dissolves Dixie cups
Luckily had enough to paper down.

 

found my oil leak, oil filter adapter O-rings leaking, at least the big one is. ordered up my O-rings today, will be here in the morning sometime, from the dealership, 12 bucks or so.

 

Today I cut the dom for my steering

 

Started cleaning up the front axle for the JCR truss, got one of the LCA mounts cut off, and welded up/grinded the grooves the brake pads wore in the knuckles over the years.


Photos and more info in my build thread.

 

Put new TPS on cleaned the IAC and entire throttle body and it still stalls under load. Makes me think it could be the fuel pressure regulator.

 

i think i did this once.
jack up and block one wheel. carefully count revolutions of driveshaft till free wheel goes exactly once around.
ex; three turns of drive = 3:1
