i say regear and give the 5.29's to some needy person
Next question to figure out is I need taller gears, the engine has so much torque that 5.29's and 38's is too low. Do I change to 4.88's in all three thirds or go from 38's to 42's?42's might rub a bit and I will have a tough time getting it in the garage. That and I might start breaking more parts.It will take about a week of working nights to change all the gears and I only have about 4 weeks at best.
No chance you can just rock the 5.29's until after MCR?I am trying to figure out what are my MUST DO's and what are my would like to get done's as well.
You trying to say you need some free 5.29 Glen , J/K
if the mammoth is going to be driven cross country then a change would be needed, would be turning too many rpms for that diesel to be happy. if its being trailered, i'd hold off until after the trip.
He will tow it with the Mammoth Mobile (RV) wont he
That has my vote too and that is what we discussed, it will of course be trailered and we really can't safely do over 60 mph in it anyway. And Glen... we will be selling the 4.88's We will also be selling the 38's when we go to 42's, they should still have significant meat on them.
you mean buying 4:88's and selling the 5:29's just remember me when you decide to sell the 38's

One or the other, both won't work. We would be over geared then.BTW, I knew this would be good for at least one page toward our goal of 100 before MCR6. Glen I just wanted to do that myself.
Exactly, Mark you can drop off those old 5.29's to me on your way to the Rubicon.
I vote for the re-gear, that way you keep you center of gravity lower. Unless you want Diane walking along the trails alot? She still talks about the last years MCR and FFC jumping on the rock sliders!
Not that it matters much cause it usually leans on her side, but you are right. Not only won't it not fit into the garage and the tires get stuck in the wheel well, it will cause it to be top heavy.I have decided that the 4.88's will be the better choice even though I would really like to see it on 42's.I also need to pull the trany and rebuild it. There is a bearing that is locking up and making a whirring sound plus the syncros are done.Keep in mind that I only have 3 weekends left at best to be 100%.
oh wait, premature
