That's right, but the Xs and Saharas HAD the option for 4:10 in '07 IF you ordered with the towing package. That was changed in '08 so that only the Rubicons could get the 4:10.

If you know your tire revs/mile you should be able to figure it out by comparing road speed to RPM in top gear (or any gear as long as you know the ratio).

Copy from another of my posts:
MPH = RPM * 60 / (Rear Axle Ratio * Trans Ratio * Tire revs per mile), or
RPM = Rear Axle Ratio * Trans Ratio * Tire revs per mile * MPH / 60

Top gear ratio is 0.84 for the manual & 0.69 for the auto.
Tire revs are 661 for stock Sahara w/ 17 inch wheels, 653 w/ 18" wheels

Not wadded at all. Just making sure the OP knew the difference. That's all.

or just break out the jack and a crayon....mark a line on your rear axle with it lifted in the air spin a rear tire two times and count how many time the axle spins....if it's 3 turns and almost a fourth 3.73's if it's definately 4 turns and a little more 4.10's

Yall, it's an '08 NON Rubicon with the towing package. Unless somebody changed um out, it aint got 4.10s, it had 3.73s.
