Thanks for replying. I should have rephrased my question better. Is it worth having 4.56 gears installed into a Willys either by the dealer. Or somewhere else once its delivered.
Mileage isnt that much of a concern. I was just wondering because I keep reading different things about the mileage. I read its better with the 4.56 then 4.88. Tire size, intake type etc etc. Its so all over the place that I was hoping a few forum membes gave one answer. I was asking about mileage in hope I would get opinions on how to achieve the most mph. Im a realist. A bunch of my friends have Wranglers. Although the are just mall crawlers. Anything I do to my cars or motorcycles gets them on the track. So this jeep would also go on trails. Ok let me rephrase. I went on trails a couple of times. Im no expert at all. Although I drove my uncles 6spd. Yes it was challenging. But 70% of my cars have been manuals. Many of which had upgraded after market clutches and flywheels. When I drove his Wrangler 6spd. Yes it was a bit challenging. Not what I expected. But it wasnt somehthing I said I would never enjoy.
Yes and no. With 35s 4.56 is a lot more driving fun than 4.10 - it just feels a lot better. 4.10 works, but 4.56 is more enjoyable. But the rub is finding someone to install the gears. There are many places that install gears but also many of them don't do a great job. They use air guns rather than torque wrenches, don't replace bearings and don't take much time to set up the gears. I've see videos where they cut every possible corner because setting up gears can be a time consuming operation. Usually a one man band with a lot of experience is the shop that I would want to do the job.
Amazon has a camera that plugs into the back of the 8.4 stereo for park assist 100 bucks I think
I thought gear ratio on the 2024 Willys was 4.10? Many sites show that it has a 4.10. There a few posts on this forum that also mentioned back in April it was confirmed the WIllys came with a 4.10 gear ratio. This link shows the upgrades on each 2024 model. https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/attachments/the-2024-jeep-wrangler-pdf.736084/ I hope it works when I click post reply.
It is 4.10’s
I neglected to mention that you should check the spreadsheet in my sig. That could save you a few thousand if you're not aware of those options.
IF we were talking about motorcycles or European cars with performance engine, suspension, or upgrading other parts that are needed. And divide the conversation on the best parts we needed for the street or track. As well breaking it down even further on the type of handling and performance we wanted. Then we can discuss things LOL. Although Im a novice when it comes to Jeep Wranglers. Im like a kid in a candy store. When I first started to look at the 2024 Wrangler. I saw the Rubicon can be ordered with a 4.88 rear axle. Yet the XR package came with the 4.56. And stock on the Rubicon and WIllys was 4.10. I tried looking up which was better for the type of driving I do. Was it the 4.56 or 4.88 with 35 tires and 6spd. As I started reading different opinions. I felt as though I was watching congress debate.
Just in case anyone doesn't know, the '24 Willys is (now) available with 6cyl. and automatic.
Yes. But now you can't get the hard top headliner and the safety group when you order a 6cyl. w/ auto. trans. They are always changing what you can and can't get with certain options.
Don't go by the build and price on the Jeep website. Ask a dealer with a experienced special order sales rep.
Is the only way to find out what you can and can't get to go to a dealership and try to order one?
Yes.
