I didn't like my gear ratio as soon as I drove it. When I set it up I figured I would use 35" tires. Well I hadn't done any homework on tires before to learn that they say 35 and measure 33.5. And I learned that 1.5" is close to 400 rpms.. So I had the axles that were in the 40 when I bought it with 4.11's. After more calculating I figured with the 33.5" tires those would well. So I drug the axles back into the garage.
I knew when I tore into the 40 that it had been hit on the drivers side, the damage was repaired, I would say a long time ago. The cowl, hood, showed evidence of the repairs. I didn't notice the spring until just now when I brought the axle in to get the 3rd out of it.
Just made me think huh.. it was hit harder than I thought.
I took the rear apart and thought wow. This thing is clean, no bolts stripped. Looked like it had never been apart..
