I am in the market for some T-case gears.
I am going to be running toyota axles with 4.10 R&P
I want to run a 33's, but i dont want to loose all my freeway speeds. What would be the best T-case gearing choice to run?

any info would be great

Thanks

Im assuming this is a samurai. My buddy Element runs 3.73's  with a 6.5.1 t case and 33's. seems to be ok. He just stepped up to 35's with 4.10 yota axles.
PM him   if you want more detail.

Close, I have 3.73 r&p with  RRO 6:1
The high range on these are 24% perfect for 33's!!!
Low range is 170% where you get a little bit more from the 6.5:1 184%-ish?, but less high range reduction...

ya what he said

Hey element did you put 3.73 r&p's in your self? Or are there any toyotas that are running a 3.73?

I think i might go with 5.14 T-case gears, I can always run like a 34" and possibly gain some freeway speed back.


Thanks

Amilla

the 3.73 is stock in the sami.
I will be running 4.11 in the toyota landcruiser axles.
RRO 6:1 is ready for 33's
If you run anything less than that, you would want some R&P greater than 3.73.
You have toy axles already?

Ya i already have the toyota axles, and 83 front, and im waiting on eaither an 84 rear or an 85 IFS (rare modle i guess).  I have the 3rd members already, and they are all stock 4.10 or 4.11 r&p.

If i were to run with a 6:1 tcase gears and the 4.10 i would have enough gearing to do something like a 35" possbily 36".  But i dont need that much rubber under my sammi, so i was just going to stick with 33s.

I want some low gears for my low range, so im not sure if the 4:1 gears would be what i want.  Might as well go right inbetween and go with the 5:1, seems like it would do give me the lowest.  With the 5:1 and 3.73s it says its good for 32 to 33s, i guess i can deal with some lower speeds on the freeway...Or go with a bigger tire 

Does all that mumbo jumbo sound simi right?

Im running 31 w trail gear 6.5 and 3.73 almost to low for the 31s on highway.
Low is great for everything including breaking things

How much speed can you hold going down the freeway?


Amilla

4.10 rp and the 6:1 tcase would be nice and peppy with 33's. I will be running that with 35's. I might go to 4.88 rp for some pep!!!

Im torn between the 5:1 and 6:1

I guess i could overgear myself with the  6:1 and then always have the choice of running a bigger tire.

Does anyone know how big of a tire you can run with a wrangler lift?
I know it says up to 33 with stock heigh wrangler springs, but i have seen peop stuffing 36s in theres...with some fender trimming of course.

Thanks

Amilla

I can run about 65 on average lose about 5 mi with a strong head wind or hill but
I think my motor is ready for a rebuild the gearing with the 6.5 is about right for 33's
hope this helps
