Have just purchased a 2003 X model with 5 speed and 4.0. It has 31.5 inch tires the pumpkin says anyway 3.07(s) I don't know if the ratio has been upgraded drives well though. What I want is a good trial jeep for forest roads and the beach. In order to get there and I drive often I have to drive about 180 miles (over the mountains but I don't mind slowing down a little.) I like the tire size now adequate for what I want without increasing the air resistance and lowering gas mileage further.
Am thinking maybe a 3.7 or 4.11 but what would take me back to the closest stock overall combination and what do you think of these choices?
Thanks for your input Bob Harrison
