#torsen — Public Fediverse posts on home.social

@booty I got a D35 in the rear, D30 front in the JKU, it's a Sahara. The Rubicon offers a D44 *option*. The Sport and Sahara versions have 3.73 ratio gears (same as #XJ). Lower trims have... lesser options.

My XJ has a C8.25 in the rear (it was a conversion from 2WD to 4x4, the tow pkg option also offers that) and a D30 front, 3.73ratios. It goes places, looots of places. =)

People give a lot of shit to D35s and D30s, but mostly I find that is the "short-dick-compensating" syndrome, characterized by accessorizing-uber-alles that plagues the Shopping Mall Crawler community of "jeep".

#FWIW, #YMMV #AYBATU, #NGGYUNGLD

Adding a locker to the factory diffs (if they don't already have them) allows for a 3.73 D35 to outperform a D44 that has "electronic" (i.e., brakes do the job) traction control only.

I like #Torsen type diff lockers, because of their hands-off trait. They are more expensive, but so worth it. Other types according to your preferences, obvs.
