I'll living in the UAE, and out here you can still buy a new FJ at the dealership. Me and my friends use our FJs to go dune bashing, but it would be nice if there was a way to get more useable power from the engine. You either drive in the desert in 4lo and shift between 4th and 3rd gear, and hope the group leader never goes over 35 mph or your really revving high trying to keep up, or run in 4Hi in 1st gear. 2nd gear cannot be used for power because the tranny will not downshift until it's too late and you've lost to much power and momentum.
Which brings me to my question. If I wanted to put a different sprocket on the transfer case to get a ratio more like 2:1, is there any way to have one custom made? Even if it was 1000$, it would be cheaper than getting a supercharger which is the only reasonable alternative at this point. If one was made, I would bet you could sell a bunch of them out here. There are tons of FJs and even 4 runners imported from the US out here.
