I just got my Dana 300 back last night from Appalachian Offroad. It is now completely rebuilt with a JB conversions 4:1 kit.
I will probably get it in and running this weekend, so I will be itching to do some wheeling soon. That is if I can every get some time off work. I have been working mad hours, as you may have noticed I have not been on here very much. Hope to see everyone on the trails.

never realized how much the 4:1 gearing did til I got my RUBI. it is amazing. cruising around RC in 1st or 2nd gear itrs pretty much point and shoot, no throttle is really needed. it just creeps and crawls over almost anything. its awesome

Exactly what I was thinking.
Oh, and it will be the first time out on the LTBs. [evilgrin0039]

Jeep is back together and slower than ever. Everything turned out good. Gotta get out and play sometime soon.

So what did your final crawl ratio end up being?

'76 CJ7 money pit of fun
OBA, F.I., custom lotsa-stuff
Klune Underdrive/NP435/Dana300=247:1 crawl ratio and it'll still do 75 on the hwy!

My Jeep is trail and fire rated!

105:1 is my crawl ratio now. It is really a lot smoother to crawl with now. I put it in a concrete culvert and ran the front end into the dirt ahead of me. The engine wouldn't stall it just slowly spun all four tires on the concrete. I am sure I will like it a lot.

You will. It's a lot better than riding the clutch and bouncing over everything.
