Title: To regear? or owt else?
Post by: Bulldog67 on December 02, 2008, 06:57:15 PM

Right, too many kids and all that, think im gonna run just one CJ7 next year, so, the questions is:

Come spring I will have a 1981 CJ7, with a 4" lift, running 33's, and a 401 (6.6) V8, runnin an autobox, do i need to regear?

or anything else you can think of?

cheers birtys

ps. will have a 5.9 V8 CJ7 for sale soon

cjs are lower geared than wranglers anyway  you got plenty engine to absorb the drag of 33 or 35s
