after i get finished with my DIY external oil cooler install im goin to change my gears an put 4.56 gears in it. so say thats to much gear, but i want it to pull like a freight train an i plan on goin to bigger tires.
Thank you for posting! This was exactly what I was going ask about, as I'm getting ready to take the plunge and move from 35" tires with 3.73 gears up to 37" Humvee Freedom Fighter tires.
I'm completely satisfied with the performance of my EX at the moment and I'm hoping moving up to 37's won't force me to do a gear change. "With the cost savings of using Humvee tires I could do a gear change for free" (This is me talking to my wife). Sorry for the hijack.
