How far can I take it off road
I have a stock 1995 3.0 auto 4X4, with 31" tires. My question is, how far can I go with off roading in a stock setup. I also belive that I'm runniny 4.88 gears.

Thank for the info.

It may have 4.88's, but thats not a ratio it came with from the factory. They are probably 4.10's. But all that aside, you have yourself a perty dern capable rig. Enjoy!

The amount of misinformation on this forum is staggering. Yes, some of the 3.0/autos came from the factory with 4.88s. I have one.

Lock it f/r, put on a snorkel, add the same size tire in a MT and you'll be pretty surprised where that piece will go.

As Jay said, if you have an auto, 31 " tires came with 4:88's.

How far? Far. Really far.

also a x2billion the 4.88 thing.

Here is a list of trails that my truck did bone stock: no tires, no lift, no lockers no gears, no armor.

You did Carnage bone stock? How was that - a little nerve wracking?

More than a little. But, it was before most of the obstacles were dug out like they are now. It was a lot easier.
