Can anyone tell me what rear end i have (gears) I'm going to be getting into 4x4'n and i need to know what i should upgrade.

 

The GU6 show's that you've got 3.42 gearing in your diffs...

However, you have an open diff, so you'll probably be doing a lot of spinning...

Wow thanks tay, is having those gears and advantage or something i should replace. I'm looking for perfomace on the road and on the dirt.

 

They're kind of a mid-range gear...

Fairly decent acceleration, while still getting good mileage, due to lower RPM's on the highway...

I wouldn't worry too much about the gears until you either, go to get deep into the 1/4 mile, or get into 34" or larger tires...

Personal preference might make you want to switch to 3.73's with the larger tires, or possibly even 4.10s...

Even with the 30" tires, I can still squawk the tires shifting into 2nd gear, on clean, dry pavement...

I wouldn't reccomend gears any higher than 3.73's if it's a daily driver, unless you switch to 32" or larger tires...

I don't plan on changing my gearing, because I plan on dropping in a V8, so I'll have the oomph to turn the tires... since I also plan on eventually getting a 6" lift, 2" body lift, and running 34s... or possibly modding it even further for 35s or the ever elusive 38" ers, lol.

For 4x4ing with 32" or less tires, I don't think you'll have a problem turning them at all... At least, nothing that 4lo won't fix, lol.

 

We wont go there, that seems to break my motor mounts .

 

ROFL!!!!! So im not the only one who had that problem.

 

Oh, man! I saw the title of the thread, got all excited, and then realized it's from a dude.[:'(]
Thanks a lot, Brett! [:@]

 

Now you've got me all worried... What's gonna happen when I goose it in 4LO with a V8 under the hood! LOL!



lol, could've been worse... I mean hey! maybe if you get drunk enough... lol j/k (assuming you're of legal drinking age of wherever you are...)

 

Very nice post Tay!! wow, haha
