Are 4.10s sufficient?

[Aquastream]

Ill try to make it straight and quick

I have a willy’s with 35s and the gearing is very bad, it’s not a pleasure to drive anymore

Thinking of trading it in the spring, are the 4.10s really that much better?

i live at about 800ft

Why not just regear to 4.56? That's even better than 4.10 for 35s anyway.

How do you drive the Jeep? What kind of off roading do you do? What engine? What transmission?

Thinking about it, but i want the other extra things the rubicon offers too

What kind of highway driving do you do? Do you drive in town a lot?

Yes i do, and there’s a few decent hills around

i do moderate amounts of highway driving, and the 3.45s are terrible for that with 35s

which? No my willy’s is an 8spd 3.6L

I think it would be great if the 2.0T was offered to build with 4.88s

4.10s are adequate.
4.56s are better.
4.88s are good as well.

Between the three I'd go no less than 4.56 if it's an easy option. But I'd have no problems driving 4.10s if it isn't easy to go with 4.56 or 4.88.

"trading in" will cost you a lot more than regearing.

But if you need an "excuse" to upgrade to a Rubicon. Go for it. You get a lot more than just the lower gearing. 4.10s might still not feel "adequate" for you though.

Exactly is the other options and extras i’m after also with the Rubicon

I have the 3.6 Auto. 37” tires and 4.10 Rubicon. Very happy with the gearing. Surprisingly quick

Well that is good to know as I am moving to 35s in my JLR.
