WRANGLER REGEAR - New gears, and a new locker, for a JK Unlimited

摘要

THE DIFFERENTIALS IN YOUR RIG TAKE the torque from the engine, carried by the driveshafts, turn it 90 degrees and send it to the tires. In addition to this task, the differentials also "gear down" the power. This gearing is called the "axle gear ratio." If your rig has 3.43:1 gearing, this means that the pinion gear will turn 3.43 times for each turn of the ring gear. "Tall" gears are actually numerically low (like 3:07:1) and allow for high road speeds, while "short" gears are numerically high (like 4,56:1) and are good for low speeds, towing, or quick acceleration.
