That setup will last about a year.So just got my JLUR back from the shop after a 5.13 gear swap from 4.10s. It was a 35 mile drive back home with a mix of county back roads and some hwy driving. Wow what a change. I did some 0-60 time pulls before and after the gear swap. My JLUR is lifted, has steel bumpers, winch, steel step rock sliders, a heavy duty tire carrier, 37s with beadlock wheels. And I am a big dude at 375 pounds. Not a rocketship, but way better after the re=gear.
Pic is so you know what is pulling the times.
9.38 seconds 0-60 with 4.10 gears This is with the throttle controller set to High Performance mode
8.16 seconds 0-60 with 5.13 gears This is with the throttle controller set to Economy mode. Why Economy mode? Because in High Performance mode it was spinning the tires out of the hole.
Thank you for sharing. I’m getting closer to regearing and all this time I’m thinking I’ll go with 4.88, but from what I’m reading, with 37s and heavy, that’s only barely good enough. I’m leaning towards 5.13s now.$2000 for everything. The gear kit, labor, fluids and a fluid change at 500 miles.
I would guess because of the break-in period?Care to elaborate?
I don't understand, why will it last only a year?That setup will last about a year.
My guess is because the 500mi break in period was neglected before doing 0-60 runs and pulling trailers.I don't understand, why will it last only a year?
Thanks for info. A proper gear break-in requires several 0-60 speed tests on the way home from the gear shop. Even better if you power brake launch it.It will not last a year because lord knows that a no vehicle can take a couple full pulls to 60 mph or pull an 1800 pound trailer. I kind of expect it to explode and catch on fire everytime I take it over 30 mph.
Lol. K.That setup will last about a year.
