first time jeep owner with questions. Have 87 yj that has 33x12.50. Is it normal to not exceed 50mph? Also just seems like a dog. Or am I just expecting to much? Brother has a 80 he can get to 70 no problem. Thanks for any help.
... The problem with upgrades is that they lead to more upgrades.
That’s what I’m afraid of. Which if I’m going to do gears. Which I’m mainly city driving then should probably look into different differentials. So they can handle itYour YJ is geared to tall for those sized tires. Someone just slapped on big tires and did not change the stock gearing. My 89 has a 5 speed with 4:10 gears and I run 31s with no problem getting to freeway speeds.
Time to start going down the Jeep rabbit hole and upgrade your gears. The problem with upgrades is that they lead to more upgrades.
