4.10 and 35's
Is anyone currently running the stock 4.10 gears with 35 inch tires? If so how does it run? Is it unbearable or not too bad? Any help turning O/D off?

I don't think it is unbearable, but I will upgrade my gears when finances allow. I have a manual so turning off OD is not an option for me. It is ok driving around town, but pretty bad on interstate driving.

I have automatic with 35's and the 4.10s drove to Michigan from Tennessee with a superchips programmer and got 18 mpgs... I will regear when finances allow but after driving a TJ with 3.73s and 33" tires and a 2.5 4 cylinder and automatic. I feel like I am in a hot rod now.

I'll be the voice of dissension here, I thought the performance with stock tires/gears was poor enough. (Sahara 3.73's with 32's) Could I be happy on the freeway with stock gears and 35's? Not a chance...
I ran 5.13's with 32" tires for 6 months before going to 35's, that was acceptable power.

Yep, it is my DD. And it's an auto. That .69 O/D goes a long way.
I was at 2600 rpm @ 70, far from tranny shredding velocity...
People really need to get a grasp of the drive ratio's behind this weak ass engine...
