My bt39.com/GearWheelSpeedThanks for feedback...to be clear, the on road driveability is fine now with 4.10's and 35s. I'm referring to improving offroad controlled climbing in 1st gear so I dont have to ride the clutch. Is there a crawl calculator?
I should have just bought an auto but I had such a bad taste in my mouth about autos..I had the JK 4 speed 42rle..terrible.As Iv mentioned before even with 5.13’s it’s not low enough with 37’s. I’m at 71:1. In the bigger rocks/ steep sections is where the issue is. 4:1 case would take me to 105:1 and would solve the issue.
An atlas would be cool but you’ll need new driveshafts, likely a custom t case skid made and maybe have to cut up the center console to fit the twin sticks. Price I think around 2200-2500
One thing I didn’t mention about the rubi case being $1800 is that the dealer also adds 1000 core fee. So it’s $2800 until you give them your sport t case..that was disappointing.
I have not tried to find a rubi t case at a salvage yard yet. Of course, the manual trans t case is a unicorn too.
All of that said I will likely be buying a case through the dealer..installing myself and returning my sport case. I should have just bought an auto but I had such a bad taste in my mouth about autos..I had the JK 4 speed 42rle..terrible.
Its more complicated than that. I've build my Sport up over the years to be better than a Rubicon. Which was always my goal. A Rubicon wasn't good enough, so I didn't buy one.Not that it helps your situation, but threads like these are exactly why I try to talk sense into the "budget" crowd. Saving money buying a sport or a willys and then building it into a Rubicon is a myth as I'm sure you've learned the hard way. To get the crawl ratio I'd go tcase 1st, but you may end up wanting gears too.
