JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Whitch gears?

As you can see, the name say "Stephane".....so maybe I made a mistake in "witch" because english is not my first language....but I actually know the difference between a man and a woman name.

PS: I'm a man, just in case you didn't figure it out. Just a friendly "ribbing"

I thought your name was "Steph" ....which is short for Stephanie

Did you say girl???

No, seriously, you should leave it as is with your 33'' tires. 3.73's are perfect. IF you did more off-roading than city driving, then 4.10's would be a bit more appropriate. When you decide to go with 35's, 4.10's would be ideal for mostly city driving, 4.56's would be bringing your RPM's up to about 2400 for highway driving. 4.88's with 35's would be a tad much. Stick with what you got now and if you do decide to go with 35's, 4.10's would be perfect for you. Don't try to over-gear it and have your engine way rev'd up all the time just for the sake of saying that you have taller gears. That's just my 2 cents.

I don't think your gearing would be horrible with 3.73 and 33's. My rubi had 4.10 on 32's and to be honest it was pretty low. First gear (manual tranny) took me about 40 feet. There are some good gear ratio calculators out there to steer you in a better direction. I've been running 35's with 4.10 for a couple of months now. I'm planning on 37's with 4.88.

Edit I removed suggestions pending further input.

It is important to make sure you have calibrated your computer with a procal or flashcal. If you don't tell the computer your equipment is different the shift point on your tranny will not be correct and will cause a reduction in fuel economy.

I just read this chart. It seems like everything is really low. Anyone with a 3.8 auto have some insight?
