| Post subject: | True Trac up front and Regear questions. |
I'm looking to regear (and looking for best prices on ring/pinion and install kits) to do so, I'm wondering what everyone's experiences are with a DTT up front. will it be transparent in 2wd? Also, how big of a difference am i going to see with the 4.10s and my 245/75/16 tires compared to the 3.73s? right now im seeing 11-13 mpg (mud terrain t/a km2s) hoping to see a mileage boost as well as being able to use OD a bit more. |

If you want lockers then get them before the install so it does not have to be torn apart twice costing twice as much. Yes the DTT will be invisible in 2wd, but you will know it is there in 4wd, I love mine. As for fuel mileage I can't really tell, I have never been one to monitor mileage, but I get probably 18 in my KJ and 12 in my TJ. |

Basically the easiest DIY setup, and most cost effective. If I break this set up its going Into " beast mode" Jay let me know if you still want the rusty's engine/ trans skid. |

I think you may have to join the site to see the tech day link. Join up, no obligation, I could use some more KJ support. They are good group of guys, all are willing to lend a hand. |
