Agreed. My new crawl ratio with the 5 speed is 39:1, and it's a little high. It helps that the engine has plenty of power. I had no problems last weekend on roads that could loosely be described as roads. Fairly difficult logging roads. But I know it'll suck in any kind of "extreme" rock crawling.
Personally, I'd rather have an 80:1 first, and just use 2nd more often. "Too have and not need, rather than need and not have."
I think my plan, as funds allow, would be to change the LT230 High range ratio to 1.0, then drop the axle gearing. Say going to a 4.12 would get me nearly the same high range ratio overall, but now first gear low would give me 45:1. A little better...
But now that I look at the numbers... hardly seems worth it.

New to me Kent Green 2000 DII. OME 2" General Grabber AT2s-265 75 16
Craigslist find. Took 8 or 9 trucks till I found a yuppied mall crawler that was taken care of and DRY underneath. All the maintence receipts were in the manual the original window sticker in the glove box. Needs a few things, but nothing major. Already have the winch from my last rig, just need a bumper next.

Thanks Cristian. They're 215/85-16s.
I lived just off Watkins near the Chancellor's house when I was a kid.
Sounds like Riverside has changed in the past forty or so years

Is that an APC is see parked behind your Disco? If so what kind? I myself like the eclectic mix of machine guns and Land Rovers!
