Or find an old pig, and just use for wheeling
Too bad you don't know anyone who buys up old pigs.

Saw these pictures on IG of Steve the pig.

Oooh 🤔🧐😳😲 maffamatishin 😘🤣🤣🤣
Always loved figuring out crawl ratios.
Bone stock 4spd trans FJ40/55 (later 70’s) low range ratio is 28:1/29:1, which was always too fast, and requires a lot of clutch work. The only thing good about it is the pairing with the 2F, and having that nice idle - 1000rpm torque that can move you over stuff while riding the brake pedal and not touching the clutch. It’s definitely an acquired taste.
Running a much lower geared drivetrain into the area of 60:1/70:1 is a whole different ballgame.

H55 has a first gear ratio of 4.84:1
Split case low range ratio is 2.27:1
If your diff ratios are 4.10, then your overall low range is 45:1, which is alright, better than original anyways, but not really what you’d consider ‘rock crawling’ gearing.
Ok, i feel a little better. Thanks
 
Best part of trip was being with my Norcal brothers and meeting Pablo and Gonzo Poncho in person!
It was great to meet the Three Amigos in person!!!
 
Top of the World is a 5-6 trail rating ? Give your pig some credit it was made to Wheel ? That damage was only a scratch
A 6 rating in Moab starts requiring some skills pretty quickly.
