bought my first jeep

I'm not new to the 4wheelin world, but I'm new to jeeps. I've always been a fullsize kinda guy and leaned towards a k5. However, I've always been curious. So I picked up this nice 05 rubicon a couple days ago. I have to say...I'm pretty impressed.





given that i bought it with a winch, the only thing i'm really lookin at doing down the line is a 4 inch lift and 33's. Now without having to comb thru the forum, can anyone tell me what the gear size in the diffs are? I have a buddy with just a plain jane wranger on 33s with a 5 speed. He told me he struggles a lil bit gettin up in speed, but then again he's not regeared. Any other things i should look into gettin or look out for?

Click free. Also, 4.10's in the axles which will be plenty bearable with 33's. I'm running 3.73's with 35's and I'm ok with it (mostly because it feels the same as my 3.07's and 30's). Spend some time on the forum, if you really want to build it up you'll find ideas here.

Very nice for your first jeep. Welcome to the world of the small turning radius.
Lets see some pictures of that thing all dirty.
I really like the color, nice choice.
