[mikea]

You got wheels and tires in jamaica? Or the wheel & tire fairy visited while you were gone?

[Don]

Josh, Congratulations again. Good news on the wheels and tires!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tu.gif I am also glad to hear that a man can actually survive a week without his Jeep. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif I heard that it had been done before, I just never personally knew anyone who had survived /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hee.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hee.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hee.gif

[Josh]

[Josh]

Hey Josh: What gears are you running? I am running 3:07 /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/td.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/td.gif with 33 x 12:50's..... it is not as bad of a combination as I expected, but it's not great either.

[Josh]

all the gears are stock, the tires are winston winner m/t

When you say "Stock" are we talking 3:07s, or do you know for sure? Have you ever requested a "Build Sheet" on your TJ? The Build sheets list a lot of neat information that may be a PITA to determine otherwise. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/brows.gif I can lookup the URL to the web page for you, if you desire, or Marlon may know off the top of his head /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Well, Don, I think he has 3.73's because he has the Sahara Edition and I wouldn't be suprised if he had the Dana 44 axle in the rear.

[Don]

Patrick, ed-u-ma-kate me.. I didn't realize that the Sahara edition was anymore than a trim package. What mechanical changes were standard equipment over the "Sport" model?

Josh, you can go to this Web site and request a "Build Sheet".... it will be e-mailed to you in a couple days.
This link will take you directly to the request form, if I have done this correctly

[Josh]

thanks i'm going to find out because i have been wondering all this stuff and i didn't know how to find it out i think i have a rear d35

[Josh]

don, when is the next time you plan on turkey bay?

[Josh]

i just found out that i have dana 35 rear axle and dana 30 front, my gearing in both axles are 3.73

[Josh]

anybody know what is stock tire size in inches comes on a jeep? or my jeep?

[BillM]

yours should have come with the 225/75/15

[Josh]

do you know about how many inches that is?

[gmbtj]

bout 27-28.

[BillM]

Well I know that a 215/75/15 should be right around 27" so the 225 would be around 28" Looking at your signature is almost like looking at my list of goodies. very similar

[Josh]

if we had the same tires we would almost have all the same stuff

Without question, I will be wheel-n at TB the last Friday & Saturday of April. I _MIGHT_ sneak down before then, but nothing in concrete. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

my sahara came with goodyear wrangler at/s 30x9.50s new. several others on jeepsunlimited came with the same, some came with metric, not sure why. as for the gears, my sahara had d35 and 3.07s stock. sahara was supposed to be just a trim package but i have found out from dc that one requirement for the sahara pkg was the 4.0. im sure that people have SEEN 4cyls. in saharas but they were supposed to all be the 6s.

[Don]

Hmmmmmmm, I have never seen a _REAL_ Sport with anything other than a 4.0L,. The Sahara package was suppose to include everything from the Sport package, plus some. Are you sure that there were TJ Sahara's, or Sahara's period that came from FACTORY with a 2.5L,... I swear, I learn something new everyday on this list.

[BillM]

I can't say I have seen a Sahara with the 2.5L. I have seen em with the D35 and the 3.07's plenty of times. I know that the D44 and the 3.73 limited slips were both options on any 4.0

[DavidC]

My Sahara had 3.07's and 30" GSA as factory and a D35 in the rear.

Sahara's in the TJ years 97+ came with 4.0L's and had options for D44's with Tracloc diff.,ABS. Sahara's also came with air,upgraded sound system, side steps,painted wider fender flairs,rocker moldings,center console's,Leather steering wheel and carpeting.Also they came with a bit more deluxe seats that have rear compartments. Both my driver and passenger seat fold to allow passengers in.

So do mine. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

[Don]

David, I think that the Sports had all the same equipment as a Sahara EXCEPT FOR the deluxe cloth on the seats and fender flares painted to match body color. The 30 inch tires, the D44, ABS, etc. were optional equipment on a Sport. Sports came standard with the 4.0L, carpet, sidestep, sound bar, console, tilt, leather steering wheel, etc.,. I have run across FAKE Sports on Ebay.. people advertise an SE model as a Sport. One guy even had the "SPORT" logos stuck on the side of an SE... Carfax subscription is a must when shopping Ebay. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
