if ur planning on swapping a bigger engine in later then put a full size tranny in now, i would run  a FSJ tranny like a 727 Torque flight this will bolt up to a inline 6 so it works pretty nice. this tranny is comparable to a TH400 if u wondering how strong it is.

gearhead1985B:
The 727 will not bolt up to a cummins but a turbo 400 will i forget what gears and tires you are running that will have a grater affect on highway rpm than a tranny swap

Swagger:
right now, its a stock 3 speed RH32 jeep auto tranny, D35 w/373's and 33's. in the future (spread out over the next 2-3 year, 5 or so till the cummins swap), I already have the 8.8 to go in it, i'm looking for a HP44 for the front, gonna gear it to 4.88 (or something close), lock it, and roll 37's on hummer H1's, and now i'm thinking that a tranny swap is the next thing i do before anything else. i know for a fact, that having those extra two gears are probably the only way to reduce my final driveline RPMs. so thats where i'm at. the reason i'm having to/wanting to wait, is, i'm planning on going a little more than crazy on this, and i only plan on doin it once. Gonna stretch it to a 103" +/-2" wheel base.  No fender laws in texas is a beautiful thing. tube fenders, comp corners and with the backspacing on the wheels, probably gonna be almost like running full width axles.

Flex:
i wouldnt call 3/4 ton axles crazy u should think about doing it right the first time and going with one tons.

Swagger:
I know, I know.  I've been thinking the same thing since i bought the 8.8.  i think i could probably sell it for more than what i paid for it. I really like the idea, and I've been trolling through pirate4x4 for weeks now, drooling on my key board (see project "Copperhead") and I've been noticing how relatively easy (just time/$ consuming) it is to do most of the work. Builder components, kits, and fab friendly parts make it all possible, even on a fairly small budget. Problem is, a welder, cutter, and one tons cant seem to squeeze their way into it right now. Even with the awesome deals I've found online and through friends, i just cant seem to make them appear awesome to my non-jeep friendly wife.  I know, it's blasphemy, but hey, what can i do? i got her before i got the jeep, so..... ;D ;D ;D ;) ;) ;)
