Good confirmation that I need the 4.10s. I was almost to the point of accepting 3.73s. But the cost to re-gear is insane.
I've actually started to look at JLs a little. The cost of a JL with similar mileage is only about $2000-$3000 more than a Recon. That price difference is made up by the fact the JLURs can run 35s without any lift. Or a small spacer lift just to lift the belly a little.
Of course at that price you give up leather and steel bumpers and some of the nice features of the Recon. I think the Recon axle is still stronger than the JL as well. Then of course all the electronic components in the JL terrify me. But it is nicer looking in my opinion and I would be running the latest platform so future updates would be easier. Then again, there is all the electronic concerns in the JL...
Its a good thing I have the time to be patient and wait for the right Jeep.
