Hey everyone. Recently acquired my first LC (LX470) that was reasonably well maintained and quite heavily upgraded (at least it's further than I would have personally gone with a build). The unit needed tires right away so I went with 315/75R16 Nitto Ridge Grappler 10-plys. I'm on a 2" lift with Old Man Emu suspension and AHC of course deleted. Extremely small amounts of rubbing (tires are new) at full lock and only minor fender contact over bumps at speed). Anyways my question is more on the gearing side of things. I've speed trapped myself as being in the neighborhood of 15-20% over the speedometer readout on the highway. Additionally this 4 speed transmission is permanently hunting gears and I actually am losing speed going up steep hills on the highway.
Off-road it's great but driving it on-road to get to the off-road is nearly unbearable. I am actually considering selling it because I hate the gear hunting and overall sluggishness. I've come here to see if anyone can help and save me from getting rid of what I thought would be the ultimate solo camper / overlander / offroader. Thanks for any assistance you're able to provide.
