Its probably a scam they get you down to TJ with the cash then they rob your ass. Tell them you will meet them in the U.S. and in a public place like a Wal-Mart parking lot. Also have someone with you packing at least a .40 cal GLOCK .45 Preferred.

Take a look at this link. http://www.grimmjeeper.com/gears.html

For the transmission... Select NSG370 (6sp manual). For the transfer case Select NP231 (non Rubi 4:1) For underdrive. Select none

You can then do a side my side gear comparison with the same tire size and see the RPMs at different speeds. You can even change the speeds.

A little more complex than the spreadsheet table you always see, but gives you the ability to look at situation.from a number of different angles.

4.10 vs 4.56. At 75mph. 315/70/17.... 2376 vs 2642 rpm. Obviously .. A lot of other factors could influence, but a good relative directional estimate.

If you're in between one gear set vs the next, always take the more aggressive gear set. You won't ever regret it. Of course, it'll help especially since at some point you'll probably decide to go even bigger tires. Kinda like all of us do.

I have a 2015 JKU Sahara that I wish I had paid attention and chosen the 3.73's! I do have the factory LSD (Trac-loc) though and would like to keep that. My off roading is some sand and a few mud hole parking lots, so the stock tires are good, just wish it had a little more get up and go around town and doesn't have to hunt on the highway when loaded! Swapping out the 3.21's is definitely on my list, but not sure how much this all would cost!
