LP vs HP 30

Looking to regear my jeep and I'm debating on going to 4.56s in my current axles or putting in an HP 30 and going to 4.88s. I run 35s and am just trying to decide if having 4.88s is worth the couple hundred bucks more for a HP axle and the work of swapping them.

Also which setup would be stronger?

Thanks in advance

This is a discussion for another thread. We can discuss a super dana 35, a dana 44 out of a cherokee, tj, fullsize, ford 9" (eb and fullsize) an 8.8, dana 60, 14 bolt, dana 70, and all variations of each and which one would be the most illogical (the one this knucklehead would pursue) and which would make the most sense (and why it won't work for this knucklehead and his perceived budget)

I will do you a solid and save you $4000-$7000 right now. You ready for this?





Rebuild your shitty motor and leave it alone! I know its cool as fuck to have a v8 in your TJ but it will lead to even more broken shit and more indecision by yourself on what to do next. I still have the 4.0 and somehow manage to wheel wherever and however I'd like. Proven to me yet again last weekend while plowing through 3' of snow. See pics and video section for proof. /mind blown

on top of the 4-7k tab just saved you I will save you another $400-2000.

Don't rebuild your motor, quit crying about your small penis and the fact your motor "smokes", realize 90% of the 4.0's out there smoke, and have done so for over 100k miles and keep on plugging along just fine.

Stop starting threads.

Stop posting.

Stop skooterbuilting.

Stop being retarded.

If you just have to spend some money, do as others already told you to do 400 times, rebuild the head on your jeep, then buy some cool neoprene seat covers that are yellow so they match your jeep, don't forget to get some windsheild hinge mounted lights too.

Face palm
I have no idea how I have had so much fun over the past 5 years with my 2.5l powered jeep
I mean how is it still fun even at silver lake it only makes like 100hp
And I guess I'm doing it wrong because I don't post a new tread about another stupid question every 3 days





Just stop it with the new threads
I remember you asking done of the same questions when you wrecked your last 30 and had to replace it

Let me help you out, get a fucking note book and start taking notes and stop asking the same stupid questions repeatedly

And fix one problem (motor) before you start asking about the next one

What was getting sold?

Downshift
Then not enough speed

No power at the dunes? My wife's escape did great, always had power. I think the skill of the driver comes into question here.


Fix your engine, and drop down in tire size until you have got the money. Don't do things on the cheap. I tried that when I had my jeep. Didn't work out to well.
I could get smaller tires but that's no fun. Not much of deliver at the dunes just floor it lol. I'm not would regear or build my motor

You can always add more stickers for a quick hp upgrade.
That's a great idea lol
