A 3.73, nice! I believe I've read those are pretty rare on this generation

I had 3.73's in my '99 with 275/70-17 tires, and it was fine. Those same tires with 3.55's are leaving me wanting more gear. It's surprising how such a little change makes such a big difference (for me, living in the mountains).

That's good to know ! I wouldn't want anything bigger than 33"s. I'd like an aggressive tire look though with the tires sticking out far enough that even when I put on fender flares they still stick out just a slight bit. But not sure if I can even achieve this with stock wheels.

You can get a lot of information from a VIN. I would not leave it posted.

If a VIN was a dangerous piece of information, I don't think it'd be etched into a publicly-visible metal tag and stamped onto the dashboard
