I think I'd do 4.88s with 35s. Maybe even 5.13 in Alberta with those steep steep grades you have here and there.
What did you do to your Expo Jeep today?

Altitude plays a small part on selection too. Behind a auto non rubicon I would say 4.88 in a rubicon I would say 4.56. The 4.88 will make the sport transfer case more bare able in low range

I have a 2013 with auto and 35's. The 3.73's were pretty decent mileage and performance wise with the 33's. With the 35's, the performance suffered, especially on the trip back from Ohio after buying the trailer. With the 4.56's I get around 16, little less or little more depending on traffic or all highway. Performance is good too.

I installed the genesis dual battery kit as well. Also the Eezi Awn Bat 270 awning..............

That awning is awesome. I need a roof rack but my issue with that is I would have to officially leave outside and I dont know if I want to do that. It will not fit in my garage if i get a roof rack. But I love how it looks on your Jeep.

Very cool!
SWEET! :wings:
On the batwing awning, is there legs that can be extended to tie down for breezes?
Any idea of the overall weight?
It seems like an excellent awning, and am considering one.

Thanks. Mine still fits in my garage with the roof rack. However, It is about an 1 1/2 inches too high with the awning attached to fit.

What lift are you running if I might ask? I have been pondering changing lifts just so i can fit in the garage and get a roof rack. I am at a 3 inch and 35s currently wondering if I did a 2 inch and dropped to 33's again how that would do. I just dont know.

Scott, yes it does have legs and they are stored internally in the extrusions. It is a pretty heavy awning, 45-50 lbs I think. There are also external walls to enclose it. I just got off the phone with Paul at Equipt and ordered those as well. Here are some links..........Pauls site Equipt, video of Setup with Paul at Equipt and a site showing wall system. I love it and setup takes seconds!

I was running teraflex 2.5, however had done some changes......
I still have the front springs from teraflex, but I have the extra heavy duty OME rear springs. That lifted a good 2.5 to 3 inches from what it was. I have 35's as well. So it is higher than the original 2.5. I have a couple inches clearance to spare to the top of the door.

WK2 winch and bumper
Installed a bumper/winch on my WK2. Well mostly. Still need to install the front steel fascia.
The bumper kit:
Disassembled front with the crossmember on the ground:
Crossmember and prerunner skid installed:
Jeep the way it sits right now (at standard ride height - air suspension)

I have the TF 3 inch with bilstein shocks. I actually am thinking about get the OME heavy duty springs but i will see after the expo how it does. I just can tell I have very limited room. Maybe I will go find one of the Jeeps in town with the Gobi and do some measuring just to make sure but from eyeballing it I say no chance of it making it into the garage.
