did my gears tonight

[87manche]

My axle swap is on track for this weekend.

Got the new rear axle setup tonight. Perches and a full detroit. Unfortunately it's still a d35, but I'm not goin past 31's for a while yet, and I could pass up the price for a pair of XJ axles geared 3.73 with a Detroit that needed to be put in the d35.

Anyway, it's going down this weekend.

Lifting 3 inches, locking the rear and getting rid of my 3.07s in one fell swoop.

I think you'll be happy. 31s through 31" tires has the exact same final drive ratio as stock tires with 3.54 gears. That's what I was running in my '88 and I was happy with it. There were a couple of instances off-road when I might have preferred 4.10s, but overall the 3.73 setup has been very satisfactory.
