transfer case gears.
ok  got a question for everyone.
32 inch tires on my samurai.  what transfercase gears should I run so I can drive freeway (with out turning 4 grand)
keep decent millage and pull 5th.  I pull 5th right now with stock gears. all day long, (not a stock 1.3 ) just slight grades and wind slow me down.
running 30 inch tires at the moment.  been told to do the 4.90:1 gears.  does that sound right.?
thanks

I would go to 5:1 in the transfer case that should work up to a 33 inch tire and give you what you want.  You can also switch out your ring and pinion gear from a tracker and this will also reduce your gearing most of the tracker use 5.38's there are a few variations depending on year.  Switching out your ring and pinion is pretty cheap if you can find a tracker in a junk yard.

What is your desired 'freeway' speed?

If your just looking for a little drop I agree with maddoghd, just go with the 4.89:1 kit.

For a transmission calculator you can take a look at http://www.solemnwarning.net/transmission/ as we have added the aftermarket transfer cases to the transfer case for the SJ series.  You can scroll through the different aftermarket cases and see what will fit you best.

well right now I run about 60 (believe that is 65 or close to it.)  I drive about 20 miles a day on the freeway rest is in town
