Wyoming B.S. Thread

Aha. He's over in Kemmerer.

 

Ah gotcha, kinda down in the Southwest corner of the state. I was surprised at how many people were out snowmobiling, i guess the sport is alot bigger than i thought it was.. I've never seen that many people up there at once considering in the summertime it's deserted. Had to be at least 60-70 truck/toy haulers all just at Bear Lodge alone.

 

mod money!


and....yea...pretty sure that 4.88s and 32s is gonna be insane with a manual..but...one way to find out..

 

i'm gonna go 4.56 if i regear gage. I know i'm a 6 speed and a 4.0 but I think the 4.56 would be better for you...

 

unless bigger tires are in the mix...

which really..idk wth your plans our now for the truck now that your gonna try living out of it..so big tires/lockers and all that noise might not be a big priority..

 

yea tru Monte, unless you're really gonna go 35's then I think 4.88 is too much Gage. Brady seems to know lots about the numbers... Maybe shoot him a pm and he can tell you what you're rpms will be with certain tires and speeds with different gears.

 

i agree..you'll but like around 3-3.2k for 70mph i think..haha

 

I was told by a member that has re geared to just skip 4.56. He is on 33's and wishes he went with 4.88. So thats why Ill be doing it.

 

Did this person have a auto? or 6 speed..or 5 speed..

 

yea i'm not even certain what i'd go with yet. getting into my diff today really made me want to just nut up and regear... ugh. I've been averaging 16.8mpg with the 285's wich has been really sweet. Kept a really close log while commuting 46 miles per day the last week and going to the same pump handle. Probably because of the 3.73 and 285 haha. running like 2300 at 70

 

I think you'd be fine with 4.56 Marc. unless 35s are in the mix..haha

 

that's what i'm thinking too. I'm pretty sure 33's are all the bigger i'm going to go just cuz of how much I drive it every day... Just not worth it for me.

I cant remember the number but when I was on the road with Bob in idaho who has 4.56 and was on his 33's i remember his rpms being really high when i asked him over the cb while we were cruising. i'll have to ask him again.

 

well..almost a full extra rotation. So probably like 4-600 rpm?

 

possibly, i'll just have to ask around and do some maths.

 

Allmotorrex said it I believe. He has a 4 banger access cab manual. I forget where but he said the highway driving with 33's is awesome. Plenty of power...which probably means stock power for me. Pretty sure he is near the beach. Showed a picture of him going 70 and it was just below at 3k I think.

 

nice, yea cant beat real world experience.

 

Yeah, I know 33's are for sure. 35's...maybe. I might be picking up that front locker too.

 

Better get a rear then too..pointless having a front and non rear locker haha

 

O well the rear was certain...the front just kinda showed up
