Iit sucked with 235's and 3.07's: uphill climbs were terrible. That doesn't mean that you can't drive it though.Mambeu said:

Kevlar said:3.07's are perfectly fine for wheeling with 31's with the manual transmission if you are on a budget. I have done it for 1 1/2 years now and have never felt I didn't have enough power on a trail. 3.07s/31's are fine on the highway, you won't have a lot of passing power but cruising at 110-120 km will be perfectly fine. The only downside to those gears and tires is that your 4HI will be pretty much useless, in 4LO you will have all the power you could possibly need for the trails you would be doing with your chosen lift and tires. You will need to get higher gearing when you get bigger tires though (and you will.....it's only a matter of time
I wanna see the types of trails you're running if 3.07's and 4:1 with 31''s is perfect in your opinion.....Kevlar said:3.07's are perfectly fine for wheeling with 31's with the manual transmission if you are on a budget.

It really, really sucks. After the new engine, header and filter, wasn't as bad, but still not good. But, I did what I had to until I could afford to do more. Now I am... shit, the light bulb just burned outMambeu said:

THere is a difference between fine and perfectly fine. And in either case I would not use word like fine: barely bearable is more like it unless we're talkin graded dirt roadKevlar said:
I saw someone attempt a semi hard trail on 3.07's with 32's and the amount of skinny pedal used was making everyone cringe and wait for broken parts. Was that ever a question? This is starting to sound like the 3.55's with 35's thread. As I said with 31's and 3.07's he will be able to drive but it will suck on inclines and on the trail. I see a dead clutch in near future

That's why I can't afford gears -- I need to replace my clutch.Kejtar said:I see a dead clutch in near future
Would it be worth it to swap in a new D30/35 combo with 3.55s or 3.73s? My local pick-n-pull always has a few XJs; I suppose I could kill two birds with one stone and try to find a non-vacuum front axle as well.Kejtar said:
For 3.55's look at xj's that have an 8.25. What do you have now? If you have a D35, consider getting a D35 with 4.11's that's a non c clip but do be careful as D35's are not too sturdyMambeu said:
