    Yup, no arguing with that!!! This is where I pretty much decided to keep Putt Putt a 4 cyl and build a V-6 CJ5. One thing to note --the PO installed a heavier flywheel on this L-134 which is an old trick that helps 4-cylinders retain more crank momentum for torquage (My Cousin Vinny) ;)

    Thanks for everyone's input. I feel a little more satisfied with my plans now. I'm probably going to do a 2.5" lift and 31's or 32's. Well, and all the basic maintainance stuff.

    Not to start a new thread, but what would my stock gearing be?

    My 5 with the f head had/has 4.27s in it. ;) I have new front & rear diffs with 5.38s. 8)
    Wanted slow and steady. 8)
    One thing to note here is that in the rocks you dont want speed.
    I've seen guys here rip up a steep climb with V8s scream'n at redline and then a small 4 banger crawl right up the same trail. Burns em up. :D

    :hurrican: For your year the stock gears are probably 4.27 as mentioned. Everyone definitely covered what the F-head can and can't do.
