The Jeep came with 3.07 gears in the axles. With the 33” tires, it was very under geared. You would never use 5th gear, even on the highway. We sourced take-off axles with 4.10 gears. (no lockers) Rear was cleaned up, painted and swapped in with all new bearings and seals. Never got time to rebuild the front axle with new bearings and seals so we are selling it with the Jeep and the work will need to be done and the axle installed. For now, the front driveshaft is removed to prevent it going into four-wheel drive with different axle ratios in the differentials.
The 4.10 gears in the axle are perfect for this Jeep with 33” tires. It transformed the slow Jeep into one that is peppy and responsive. 5th gear is very usable on the highway now.
It has 2” coil spring spacers and wheel spacers to properly fit the tires.
Nearly new 33” BFG Trail Terrain TA tires. Only 3K miles since they were purchased new.
Oil and filter changed every 3K miles with Mobile 1 Full Synthetic oil.
It comes with a steel locking Tuffy center console insert that is brand new but uninstalled as well as a Tuffy rear truck area to keep things secure.
The Kenwood Bluetooth stereo works with the front speakers and sound bar.
It has a hardtop and full doors plus a bikini top.
The downsides with this Jeep are that it has a slight oil leak and the above described front axle work to get it back to four-wheel drive. It works great in two-wheel drive right now. I believe the oil leak is from the back of the valve cover. It occasionally drips on the ground. The engine compartment was not cleaned prior to listing it for sale so you can see where it leaks. There is a crack in passenger side mirror but it is still functional.
Note: The custom license plates will be removed and transferred to a different vehicle
