Understood sir..,I didn't have that problem with stock tire size. I got it after I put 35".
It makes perfect sense when you know the problem he is referring to , and he lives in Europe not Montana.That makes absolutely zero sense....
I makes perfect sense, if you realize English is a second language for him !!That makes absolutely zero sense....
My 80 does 120 just fine. (Admittedly with 4.56s and an 8 speed.)you got any numbers for 4.88, 33's and 75mph in Overdrive? Who drives 65 anymore and what 80series hits 120?? ;p
You forgot to mention V8 POWERMy 80 does 120 just fine. (Admittedly with 4.56s and an 8 speed.)
200 RPM difference at cruising speed (ish) - Eh, just run the 33s with the 4.88s and stop sweating it.
Oh, yeah, and a V8.You forgot to mention V8 POWER
I bet your U-joints love you.I've had 35's and stock gears pretty much since I've owned my 80. I never really thought I needed to regear. I live in the "mountains" of VA/WV too. Now that I've switched to 37s I think I need to do something. (LS swap is on the list of possibilities)
So why not gear it, do it in 3rd, and keep up with traffic?I use 2nd all the time and the engine likes 4000k plus up the hill. Tried and proven by @LandCruiserPhil

No reason to. I enjoy the scenery as I drive and in no rush. Not looking for it to be a sports car.So why not gear it, do it in 3rd, and keep up with traffic?

What RPM where you at ?@45mph ya it works but not 65mph as implied earlier. Having just ran a trip to Moab and back from Denver I can attest that stock gears and 35s cannot drive 65mph up either side of the Ike gauntlet. Your locked in 2nd in the right lane with the semis.
Come for a ride with me and will show you how its done. I never implied 65 but I do pass semis at 60 plus. Enough said. Late!!!@45mph ya it works but not 65mph as implied earlier.
