Title: Advice on regearing my TJ
Post by: streetmaster on October 31, 2007, 08:43:09 PM
Just wandering if it would be posible to just regear the back end for now, and do the front end at a latter date when i can afford to do it. I want to slap a set of 4.88's in, but doing both at this time is a bit much on the piggy bank. I dont plan to wheel the little SE anytime soon, so i dont see what the problem in this would be. Theres a shop close to me that wants close to a grand to do both front and back, i just cant swing the whole thing at this time. The way i look at it is, after i get my BB, and 32's on, i could posibly do the back end shortly after so my little 2.4L 4 popper wont have struggle.  :puzzled:

Yes, but don't plan on ever using 4wd till the gears match.

Yeah i know what you mean (Jeffy) about useing 4 wheel drive. Dont believe i've used it much at all exept just to try it out since i purchaced the jeep. Just wasnt shure if i had to take the front driveshaft off untill i got the front done, or not.  :thumb:

I'd still pull the front drive line just in case!  The front end still turns and all though the t-case isn't engaged the possibilty for some thing going wrong is still there!  I'D RATHER BE SAFE THAN SORRY! :biggrin:

Yeah, removing the driveshaft would make sure the idiot behind the wheel doesn't forget.  :lol:
