big tires + long road trip = ??????

[MR.CJ-7]

why not go to a car rental place like budget or enterprise? I would bet they'd be cheaper to rent a pickup truck from then Uhaul would be to rent a moving truck. Just find one that gives unlimited mileage.

I used to have a CJ with 4.56 and 33"s as my DD. No OD in the auto trans. the rpm's weren't an issue. I turned about 3300ish on the highway
Just my $.02 worth

i would ship them but the military shipping sucks! they always break things. i think i got it set now. my buddy has a new cummings dodge on 35's that he is gonna let me use. he says he gets mid 20's for mpg. 3x's the mpg of mine, im sold on that! thanks for all the input!

I am going with almost the exact same setup. I have an 89 Suburban with 4:10 gears, no OD, and 33's. What is your tach reading when you are doing 70 mph?

Don't know,Don't have a tach.Should put one in.I would guess around 3100.Number's show 3015.But the auto adds a little.It pulls a 18' tandem with my Jeep project on it no problem at 70MPH.

If the friend falls through, look at renting a Dodge from Enterprise.
