    See joining this forum has already paid off. So what is the front axle in a jeep wrangler sport or sport S?

    Dana 30 found upfront in all non-rubi but they are totally functional....just use it till there's an issue or you break it from abuse or larger tires. But if you have the dough don't hesitate and make it go away and break something more spendy.

    Dana 30 is the axle. 3.73 is the gear ratio between the ring gear and the pinion gear.

    I am not going to rock climb. I have been to Moab and other places out west. The widow maker a couple time in the 80's. So what is the best ratio for mid range off roading like here in PA. Renagade I had always felt like it was about to turn over in sand and tires were mud tires about 9 inches wide back then. Slicks were wider if I am remembering correctly.

    I tool around here in the north central Ohio area. I got 35's and 4.56 gears in my rig. I shoulda went with 4.88's and been smart about it. I do have the sluggish 3.8 liter V6 tho. But it still turns the 35's and slings mud like crazy. You can still have some serious fun in a stock rig for a while. That's how I did it for a couple years before I decided to start upgrading

    Your gear ratio will depend on your tire size. The 3.73 is a decent ratio for stock tires. I ran 3.73 (stock) for a long time with 37s. In 4wd low offroad it was okay and did everything I asked it to, but I really suffered on the highway.

    What is the electronic rock lock all about? The only reason I would like to have it is for resale so a stock

    Pushed the wrong button. So a stock sport s is good to start with? When is the best time to get a new 2019 in 2020?

    I'm still seeing brand new 2018 JK's for sale on the lots. If you dont have to have the latest and greatest stuff you might be able to score a 2018 for a sweet deal.

    I would love a 2018 but I will not be in the market to buy until last this year, December or first on next year. I have to pay off my wife's car first. So that is why i am thinking 2019 in 2020? How wide of a tire can you put on factory steel wheels? Oh here is another question, "If i buy a soft top and then get a hard top will the wiring be there for all the lights on the hard top?
