    3k for 65ish. Amazingly it's not loud and feels fine. I found this whole weekend 3 grand was totally fine and it loves sitting there.

    I did 2 drives and then left haha

    Wheeling was amazing. Driving is great. 1st low range is super slow. Like not really thinking about a crawlbox slow.

    Was great to get out and hit a lot of roads. Have almost 300 miles on them now and 0 issues.


    Have a shit load of photos to go through.

    That's not bad at all. Not much different than my 5spd and 4:30s. I sit at 3k all day long at ~70. That seems to be the sweet spot for engine load vs rpm for me.

    You went 4:88 right? The 4W-Lo works awesome still I would like a crawl box for the real nasty stuff. But what a difference. ...

    Frank should have won that ran. Lower geared than all the rest. Aren't you and Steve still on 3.73's?

    Sounds familiar. As long as it isn't in the sky, maybe you can ignore it. :eek: :rolleyes:
