Understand the benefits of re-gearing for bigger tires, better crawl ratios, and improved highway performance.

Expert advice from Greg on avoiding common re-gearing mistakes and selecting quality gear sets. Cost of re-gearing: What to expect (starting at $2,000–$2,500) and why it’s worth the investment. Tips for newbies: From Dana 44s to SYE kits, we break down the technical stuff in simple terms. Common issues like seal leaks, Yukon gear quality concerns, and how to avoid shock loading your drivetrain. 🌄 Why Re-Gear? Bigger tires slowing you down? Struggling on the trail or overheating on the highway? Re-gearing can restore your Jeep’s power, improve fuel economy, and enhance off-road capability. Whether you’re running 35s, 37s, or 42s, we discuss how to match your gears to your motor, transmission, and off-road goals. 🔥 Highlights: Greg’s pro tips on Dana 44s, Dana 60s, and avoiding weak points in your drivetrain. Real-world experiences from Jeepers running Rubicon axles, LS swaps, and overlanding setups. Funny stories, like driving a right-hand-drive Jeep for mail delivery and dodging garbage cans!
