Pete M Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Even better than touching the engine would be to swap a 3.55 geared axle under your 2wd. :thumbsup: Your acceleration off the line will always be hampered by the crappy 3.07 ratio. And welcome! :wavey: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_Town_MJ Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 What would be a good donor vehicle with said axle gearing. Gotta junkyard this cause money is tight.haha :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A_Town_MJ Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 IN that case i might have some 3.07s under my other 4x4 comanche, ill check that out today.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 General rules of thumb under MJs and XJs (better check the tag to be sure): 4.0 + stick = 3.07 4.0 + auto = 3.55 2.5 + 5spd stick = 4.10 2.5 + 4spd stick = 3.55 2.5L + auto = 4.56 2.8L = better check to be sure An XJ axle will need the perches moved to the MJ location.

BREEZE1 Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 WELCOME MAN! :cheers: as for an axle, you can't go wrong with an exploder 8.8, you can get them with 4:10's and LS. that will help you bust some ricers! :banana: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
