Gearing for Monteros - List

[BayMonty]

Newbie question here,

I just picked up a Gen 2.5 Monty with the 3.5L SOHC that came with 33's. From other posts/threads, the gearing is 4.272. Are there any options to increase the gearing a bit for a better balance of DD and overlanding?

Look for Eurosonic's gen 2.5 build on this forum. He has done the swap you are looking for.

Can't wait until we have the axle and gearing database live, the responses can be a useful link. No more googling and weeding through old posts!

I just picked up 2002 XLS 4.9 ratio diff set from pick n pull since one car just showed up at the yard close by before weekend.
I will take pics and measurement of gears when I have chance.

Here is how it looks so far.

Monty85, how much did you pay for the diff set?
