I finally did it, I bought my first Wrangler.  It's got the I 6 5 speed manual.  I have no idea what else it has, like gears, tranny, transfer case.  It's all stock I know that.  I want to fit 32's on it, get new bumbers, spare tire carrier, winch, all the stuff needed to be a moderate trail rig.  Any advise or product info would be appreciated.  

It has a NV3550 trans and a 231 transfer case. The Sahara will usually have a Dana 44 rear with 3.73 gears.

Does the rear look like this... Dana 44





or like this... Dana 35


 

looks more like the d44.  

thats what we wanna hear!  

can that be right, I didn't think the d44 came on the sahara.  I thought it would be d35 in the rear with 3.07 gears.  

I've never seen a TJ Sahara that didn't have a Dana 44 rear. I always thought it was standard with Sahara but I think I've seen an options list from Chrysler that says different.

There is no mistaking it though. It's very different looking. The fill plug is a dead give away. D35s have a rubber plug and D44s have a thread-in plug.  

yup that's where i seen it too.  The original specs say d35 with 3.07 gears.  so i was a litle confused.  who knows, i know it looks like the d44 and i'm happy with that.  now for some gears, coil spring blocks, bumpers and a winch.
