I only recall little Red years back when Royce actually wheeled and had his sierra. Even then it was a mission and you could really see to big tired vehicles struggle with control on standard gearing. They were bouncing into things and stalling all other the place! Entertaining to watch tho

Would be an educational video for the fella's who believe in lockers before gearing once over-tyred. Just imagine the ridiculous speed you would have been pulling due to the added traction of lockers. Crazy! Btw how the hell did those cv's hold up! |

They were fine that day but the next time I drove that track I did a RH.

Not necessarily. You have to hit things with so much speed you don't have time to judge things that can happen. You could end up on your roof

215s OR 235s would be more usable with the standard gears...[/quote] Don't forget that 215's while not huge is about 2 inch's bigger than the stock rubber... So like going to 31's on a Hilux, Rodeo, BT50 |

i dunno what reduction il go with next time. didnt mind it with the 6.5s. only drive glasshouse. like crawling up things with the twin lockers. used 1st doin little red. did all my steep ones in 1st. would probably go again with same gears. but havent sampled any others lol i shud probably confirm they are 6.5s. they are super low though i know that much |
