For a 5 speed conversion? I believe the reasons would be that it allows for a higher top speed and provides a lower first gear.what other reasons?
"Other rig". No Land Cruiser gets 28 mpg, especially a 40!Are you saying that you have an FJ40 that got 28MPG? If so, was it a diesel, or did you have to push it over a 8% grade for 30 miles to get that?
