tow rig

prior to 00' tj's had a 3spd auto. mine is factory 3:73's. yes it does seem strage that the cherokee has a 4spd auto but the tj did not. but it is a fact that tj's came with the 32re(rh) tranny. i am guessing at the 4:10's because when i had the stock 30's on here speedo was slow now with 31's its right on same mph as gps now

Odd

Do u know how to tell what gear ratio is? Lift the rear of jeep n rotate tire, mark tire then count # of revolutions at drive shaft when u spin tire once. That will tell u how much. If 3 3/4 at driveshaft for 1 tire spin then 3.73. If 4 then 4.10 n so on. The TJ is a 3spd with od.

Yes ring divided by pinion

No overdrive, 32rh has a 1.00 3rd gear.

this is true, while i can and have driven my jeep a good distance to go wheeling... it is nice to be able to just toss it on a trailer and not worry about tire wear, or possibly breaking something a few hundred miles from home

AW4 swap!!

i like the 3 spd. all other jeeps sites say its alot stronger then other jeep autos. and it has no od....3 gears only.....at 60 mph i am turning 3300 rpm.

need bigger tires to make it equal out

got me a tow rig. a 2001 ford f150 4x4 supercab. i will post some pics tomorrow. not really pretty but runs great and its the 4x4 offroad version with the tow package and 5.4 v8

here is my "new" ford....

my buddy just got rid of one of thos had over 200000 miles and still ran great

this runs great and has 335000...pulled behind a motorhome for years and dang good maintence done on it. yeah mudraider i have had a few of these 5.4's.....is a PITA to change #4 the rest are ok....but this one just had it all done.

Should have like a 7K tow rating. It'll pull your jeep fine. As long as you don't get tall or to crazy with the jeep.

All I know about the ford modular motors is get the aftermarket solid piece design spark plugs. If the plugs have been done before usually there's no issue.

exhaust manifold bolts break easy

Here's something to tow behind it. Plus u could double it as a camper.

What size lift are you gonna put on that?

dont know if a f150 would hadle that...lol. this one is staying stock. its a dd

Watch the wheels they seem to want to turn while you are driving it. Its a common issue on those.

lol yeah...the back one on this one like to smoke for some reason....i have already bough new tires for it...lol...now i just need some 16" wheels i dont like the 17's on it.

well here is how it looks now.....i put steel wheels on and painted them white,had a new windshield installed, put in a new headlight switch...still need to install the swaybar links

Looking good, do you plan on keeping it?

yes this is my dd now and tow vehicle for my jeep and the cars i buy to sell. i also have a 18' dual axle car trailer now with a winch.

Sweet ride. Looks good
