You know what they say,I swear, if one more parent drags a 5 year old up to me, and introduces me as Santa, I'm gonna hit them up for fifty bucks, or I tell the kid the Truth. Another twenty bucks and I won't kill the easter bunny, either.

If Santa gets pissed off and mixed up
He turns into Satan.
Got to be some yankee shitLiterally never heard that before
My best bro is moving back to NC after living on a GORGEOUS ranch in Telluride for the past 13 years. He keeps inviting me out to spend some time before he moves but I can’t swing it.Don rode out to the ranch in CO to get a load of household stuff. I’m going back with him in a couple of weeks to get the JD tractor and then I guess my best bro having a ranch in CO is over. It’s under contract and pretty much a done deal. I have really enjoyed the time I’ve spent there in the Wet Mountain Valley in the shadow of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. the ranch is at 8k’ with 14k’ peaks to the west behind it. You can see Pikes Peak to the East.
We brought back a lot of household stuff last trip in the spring. This is getting close to being the last of it.
He sent me this, flying the FN on the ranch house pole.

Ironic as much youngest daughter was just asking about regearing to step up to 35s from 33s in her tj. I just cannot justify regearing a D35 but don't want to open pandoras box stepping up to another non-bolt in axle. However, 33s, a 4.0L with a 3 speed auto and 3.07s don't make a jeep that can run 70 on the highways around the clt. It runs out of ass pretty quick.D35 overhaul with used gears and fresh 5.29s in a Toy V6 third.

4:10s with 33s ain’t ideal either (5spd) I bet 3:07s isIronic as much youngest daughter was just asking about regearing to step up to 35s from 33s in her tj.

3.73 or 4.10 will be ideal for 33s and a 3 speed auto. Lack of OD will keep you happy with either ratio.Ironic as much youngest daughter was just asking about regearing to step up to 35s from 33s in her tj.

Get some TJ axles with 3.73s. Should be a D30 front and D44 rear for most of them.Ironic as much youngest daughter was just asking about regearing to step up to 35s from 33s in her tj.

TJ 44s are rare to come up for sale. She would likely be ok with 4.10s out of a 4banger.Get some TJ axles with 3.73s. Should be a D30 front and D44 rear for most of them.
If I see a set of 4.10 geared axles I'd be hard pressed not to grab them up. She wants 35s and while I dont love that idea on a D35 it will never (maybe) go offroad.3.73 or 4.10 will be ideal for 33s and a 3 speed auto. Lack of OD will keep you happy with either ratio.
It basically sucks and won't do interstate speeds. Not sure if it runs out of balls or gears. My 2.5L TJ on 35s ran out of guts not gears but it was 4.88s. I have never driven it on any highway so I'm not sure exactly what issue she is having.4:10s with 33s ain’t ideal either (5spd) I bet 3:07s is
That would make an awesome sleeper with a healthy LS and giggle gas.Them ol girls was wide and low in the 90's

I had a 92 model, 4.0, with 3.54 & Factory wheels/tires. 31-32"? Automatic, & would haul butt!Ironic as much youngest daughter was just asking about regearing to step up to 35s from 33s in her tj.

You don't watch Nascar? If you tailgate, real tight, it will fall off, or get sucked off. Must be why most tailgate my dump truck? I just thought they were catching Free sand & rocks!Driving in to work this morning I had a ~5x7' sheet of plastic blow up off the road and hitch a ride for 3 miles. Glad it wasn't my windshield. I tried more speed and less speed, to no avail. I was about ready to pull over and liberate it, when a wafting 18wheeler draft took care of it.
