[QUOTE="jeepjoe43, post: 431371, member: 19255"] In my experience, Jeeps are All about gears, the lower the better though their are reasonable limits. Re-gearing axles helps on the street, especially with a 4 banger, deep reduction trannies make all the difference Off-road. Been considering a swap myself, but out of frustration more than anything else. Though I haven't really driven mine enough to have any complaints about power. I've got a little 175 horse 2.0 Pinto married to a SM420 from my old trusty steed. (what can I say, I like 4 bangers) But it's carbureted, and I'm just about sure I don't want the hassle of a swap. Would be other complications, I fabbed the bell housing specifically for a RH drop t-case, relocating the starter to the driver side. That, and it's got a mechanical clutch. For now I'll just stick with the 2.5. [/QUOTE]
