how far is the speedo off? like stock at 60mph compared to my setup now?
i dont have money to regear or get a different sprocket tooth.
 
stock tire size would be around a 28 so you are only about 2 mph or so off with 31's. mine is off by 3 or 4 and i'm running 33's.

a new speedo gear runs you about 15 bucks, if you dont have that much cash then you should bench your jeep... it's gonna cost ya more than $15 to keep it running...

Awe come on! Surely you can do the math!

The OEM tire size is a 225X75X15 which is about 28"

A 31" tires is about 30.5" on average.

So the conversion factor is 30.5/28 or 1.089

Multiply your speedo or OD reading by 1.089 to get the actual speed or milage.

At 60mph your speed should read on your speedo as 55.5 mph

i bought it for 400$ and put another 1300$ in it. Ill probably gear it 4.56's so buying a tooth is pointless at the moment. Thanks for the math guys.
