I think he's concerned that if his stock X came with 3.07's will the Super 35 work. I just can't find where he found the 3.55 or numerically higher requirement.

I can't find the 3.55 > gear requiement. Where did you see this?

I agree with everything darkslinger and jfrabat are saying here, just also realize the situation Leroy is in being in Germany. When my brother-in-law was stationed at Landstuhl he had an absolute nightmare just getting the transmission overhauled on his Dodge minivan, forget finding parts for...

True enough but read Leroy's posts and you'll see it's absolutely cost prohibitive for him to have a complete axle upgrade shipped to where he's stationed in Germany. I think he may be able to live without new gearing for awhile with the added traction a locker will afford and the upgraded...

The Detroit is a bullet-proof and fully automatic locker that uses heavy springs and geared teeth to allow the outside wheel to spin faster when turning. When you're on the gas it locks up and acts like a spool. When you let off the gas it unlocks. This can be kind of jerky and really felt in...

Might try looking at 12voltguy.com - Home. He can also custom fab panels to your specifications.

Leroy, If your '02 X came with 3.07 gears then you need to take note that the ring and pinion ratio ranges supported by the front D30 carriers are 2.72-3.54 and 3.73-5.38. For the rear D35c the ranges supported by the carriers are 2.73-3.31 and 3.55-4.56. This means that if you want to go...

Ha! Are you Steel Wheelie guys kidding me! You, my friends, do not have the joy of spending hour upon hour polishing your wheels like I do. And as to their suitability...well, just let me say that any metal used to hold my beer can certainly hold the air in my tires. On a serious note, I...

Being from SoCal I don't have frequent need for added traction control devices but while in Tennessee at during the Winter of 2008 I ordered a set of chains from TireChain.com. Even here in California there are times when road conditions warrant chains and the Highway Patrol requires them...

I agree by starting with replacing the oil pressure switch. Seems logical. However, why even think about using Automatic Transmission Fluid to flush an engine when there are so many comparably priced, specifically designed products on the market to choose from? Motor or Engine Flush is made...

Still waiting to hear what axles you are now running? A "Can I do this" kind of question is really hard to be definitive about because it really depends on the kind of wheeling you do and how hard you mash the skinny pedal. Regardless, I tend to lean toward the consensus so far that if you're...

Here's a way you can check and closely approximate what your rear gear ratio is. It might be easier to check if you have a friend help: On a flat surface, block the front wheels and jack up the rear so the tires are off the ground and sit on jack stands. Make sure the parking brake is off and...

Where does the rear differential/axle vent line terminate at? On my '03 Rubicon it is routed up under the rear fender next to the gas fill tube. I'm thinking if yours is the same it may have leaked gear lube around the fill tube that seeped past the gas fill tube onto the filler housing making...

Cool. Now for just that added bit of safety, take a look at installing something like this... For about $20 bucks (Amazon.com: Battery-Disconnect Switch - Will Fit Both Side Post and Top Post: Automotive) you can add an Anti-Theft Battery Disconnect Switch and Battery Saver. It will not loose...

No shoes just makes it easier to put my foot in my mouth, which I seem to do frequently. :shock:

If they have a winch at all, 99% of the Jeeps you'll see on the trail will have the winch mounted up front. It's probably more a thing of "direction" rather than anchor points. Typically we are winching over, up, or through something. With front wheel steering it is easier to control and...

The dealership? What kind of spring? A little more discription would help.

To avoid confusing let me clear up a couple of things... First the difference between BlueTop (light gray case) and YellowTop deep cycle batteries is that BlueTop batteries have both automotive (SAE) posts and threaded posts on top, while YellowTops (other than D31T) only have SAE posts...

Thanks Mike. Since starting batteries are not as resistant to ill effects of shock from bouncing around off road, I usually just try and buy a battery based on the most CCA for the money. The pro-rated warranties are just about the same across the board, depending on how much you're willing to...

The Red Top Optima is a "starting" battery designed to provide high current for short periods of time. If you run a lot of high power accessories on your rig (i.e.: a winch, stereo amps over 250 watts RMS, CB radios, GPS, auxiliary lighting, etc.) that drain the battery faster than the...
