Default Detroit Tru Trac with 4:56 gears, First test!

I added a video http://youtube.com/watch?v=xVcGP9Cy9pM


These pictures do this trail no justice! This is Break Neck Pass and Browns Pass, Colorado!

Got to give it the first test since the check up! Loved them! definitely the BEST mod to date!! Next is going to be the winch!

The mountians in the background is the Continental Divide! Beautiful summers, but cold, windy, and very snowy winters!

Yeah it sure is different from Georgia! My ex is from Reidsville and I have been there a couple of times. Don't like the humid heat, but I liked Savannah's downtown!

SWEET! Looking good! I bet those gears made a HUGE difference all round... Truck looks killer man, I like those rims.

SPEED SAFE, AIR RAM

You can make 1/2 the trail in 2wd. But the back side of Browns Pass is a definite 4 low trail! Big holes and larger rocks with loose dirt! But you can just do the first half over Break Neck back to the creek crossing 2wd no prob! Well I haven't tried it in any other truck so I can only speak for mine.

mmstar- getting stuck and breaking things is half the fun of four wheeling a truck! It comes with the territory! You only live once!

The gears made a HUGH difference! I went hunting in November last year and could really feel the engine working hard, 4wd 90% of the time. This time it was no problem at all and I made it up rocks and through holes with no hesitation! only had to use 4wd when it got hairy!

Damn man, I lived in Vidalia from 1993 til 2004. Got a 12 lb. 4 oz. and an 11 lb. 8 oz. bass on my wall came from fishin' around the prison in Reidsville.

I don't feel like doing the math but aren't your 4.56's basically equal to my 3.92's since you're on 37's? Most of that gearing increase was spent getting back what was lost to the larger tires.
