I just bought a '92 wrangler that has had some minor mods done such as an electric fan, upgraded Air Intake system, and aftermarket radio but am looking to give the engine some more kick while not destroying the MPG. Any suggestions?

If its a 4 popper you are gonna be limited on what you can do. Your best bet is to start looking into a I6

re gearing if you have bigger tires, or if you got the 4 angry squirrels you swap the throttle body the bigger 4.0L. I did that, and I felt a huge difference.

It has the 4.0l Straight 6 engine in there, but I think that the gearing is the problem. Any idea how much I should be expecting to pay for the gears to be changed? I heard its pretty expensive

Most regearing quotes I have heard are in $1,500 range for both axles and they supply the gears.

I just had 4.88s installed in my Rubicon. I'm seeing a full 1 to 1.5 MPG increase with daily driving. I'm running 35s with lots of armor and hvy bumpers. I've seen a huge increase in forward momentum, but now I top out at 65 MPH at 2,700 RPM. I don't drive on the interstate.
