Re: Gear ratios?

Tranny............3.93
Crawl Box.........2.28
T-Case............2.28
Diff.................4.88
Crawl Ratios
Double Low.......99.69:1
Single Low........43.7:1

After a trip to Moab on this set-up, I'm gonna put 4.70 gears in the rear case because there were a couple times that I wish I was lower.  This would put me at 205.5:1 with the options of 90.1:1 or 43.7:1

I think your gearing is perfect, skipnrocks.  The 74:1 is good for easy-moderate trails or sections of trails, while on harder trails and obstacles, the 103:1 is great for ledges, steep climbs, rock gardens and such.  Then when you absolutely need perfect tire placement and incredibly slow speeds such as straddleing a crevice, while trying to climb an off-camber rock face like this:

or this:

the 278:1 will come in very handy.
