I guess.  Going from the stock TJ 34:1 to the Rubicon 65:1 was a real boost for me!  Not often now do I get into a spot where lower gearing is needed.  Can't imagine 100:1.

If I was in a comp crawl then I can see 100:1 but for trail riding now I'm in 3rd- 4th 4low and I'm about right pace. If I get to a good section I want to take my time I'm in 2nd first is almost to slow

what do rubi's have for first gear?  Tom was much slower than I at big dogs and I'm like 90:1.  I could use lower occasionally, especially down hill.

all what I always thought..
but I’m telling you.. I needed more slow for what I was doing..

100:1 is a lot.. but the lesser of 2 evils.. If I can’t get the gearing I desire from a Tcase I need a trans...
granny gear trucks are the only option..

Funny, because when I had to move Pauls CJ this winter in storage I forgot how much I loved a deep 1st gear.. (had one in a previous CJ)
it’s all about the overdrive at this point.... 

only way out there possibility is that the case isn’t 4:1....
but that would have taken some serious "Fuck you" ability by the PO of the Tcase to swap the planetary back into the Tera housing...

plus I’m fairly certain I checked it before I installed it..

NP241OR t-case = 4:1
NVG3550 trans = 4.01:1
D44 axles = 4.11:1

Must be a Jeep thing  :P

your at 80:1

I dont think tire size effects the calculation.. just the real world application..

Put that thing on jack stands and verify your t-case gearing?

The only thing I can see is tire size messing with things.
