Probably won't happen until later in the year, still gotta save up some more $$$. Going to be running this with 36" IROKs and 4.56 gears. basically stock 4.0/AW4 combo. Of the two XJ'ers I wheel with that have Atlas t'cases, one has a 4.3, the other has a 3.8. They both like their respective ratios. Both have similar setups as I do as far as 4.0/AW4, both with 4.56's I think, and 35's.
The terrain we normally wheel often has loose rock, and it's sometimes wet, which is why I was considering the higher 3.8 to help with wheel spin when needed, but there's a part of me that thinks if I'm really going to pony up for an Atlas, go with the lower ratio, I can always just put the trans into 2nd or even 3rd for higher range. Unless my math is off (it is friday afterall), 2nd gear with the 4.3 would be just slightly higher than the stock t'case and 1st gear.
Thoughts?
