Default 4.88s installed = Amazing!!!!!

I appreciate all of the help from the members here. I have a 2011 JK Manual with 3.73s. With the weight I added from the 35MTRs, Rack, Trailer and bumpers it was a total pig. I bought some yukon 4.88s and had them installed last weekend. The results were amazing. I have a diablo tuner, drop in K&N filter, MBRP stainless exhaust. The life was instantly brought back, better than stock. I pulled the trailer around all day Saturday with no issues. It actually pulled in 6, lol. Jurassic Jeep is running fantastic and I thank you guys for your advice. Jeep on my Brothers

New gears are the best thing you can do to your jeep when running larger tires and extra weight. Glad you enjoy them!

Just hoping you ran the heat cycles before you towed that trailer

No doubt! I toss receipts and lie to myself everyday about how much I've spent. Working well so far!

This is cool to see. I've been tracking the cost list for mine as well. I'm right under $55k. No trailer yet. I also track every service cost. Labor if applicable as well as my little nut, bolt, etc. I hit $24k in repairs and mods on my land rover.

I'm in the same boat Always curious to come up with a list like that but then quickly dismiss it as a bad idea lol.

The trailer looks like a nice setup though!

I prefer this method of keeping up with my jeep mod cost.
