Default How important is 3.73

I have been looking all over the net for a JK that is built the way I want it. I can't find too much, but have found one, that has a six speed, myGig, Side Airbags....but doesn't meet my last goal.....3.73


Will I be begging for 3.73 down the road, or can 3.21 be livable. I don't plan on upgrading gears/axel....However, I might want to go with 35"s eventually...it will be a 6 speed manual.

I could send you my 3.73's.
The only issue is having them installed. It's a lot of work and a good shop is going to charge about 900 to do both front and rear.
But pm me if you want them, I just replaced with 5.13's

Problem is, I don't know how long I'll be living down here. A lot of my family is in NJ, with lots of fun hills.....I may be back there in a year or two.....hmmmm

If you've got 3.21 diffs and want to run 35's you can do it but I don't think you will be happy. I would definately be very careful offroading. I wouldn't go any bigger than 32's with 3.21's but that is my opinion and I'm sure someone has gone bigger but...

Sorry to sound stupid, but how do you know what you have?

What does the Rubicon come with?
