What gearing?

[Man Jerk]

I need to start looking into re-gearing my wagon for the hills you guys have otu there

Currently I'm running 35" BFG MT's with 4.11 gears. I enjoy the overdrive that I get on the flat land out hear, but I doubt I will like it much when I'm driving the pass every day. I don't plan on DDing it forever, but it's going to have to get me around until I can pick something else up.

So my big question is do I go with 4.56's or 4.88's.

I would like to go 4.88 but I'm concerned what it will do to my top end speed. It will still have to get me to the trail and back. But then again if I go 4.88's and I go up in tire size later on I will probably wish I had done 4.88's.

Any opinions?

If you think you will end up with an over drive tranny or 37"+ tires Go with the 4.88's

If you think you will stay with 35's and a non overdrive tranny Go with 4.56's

What Drivetrain are you running now?

Soon I should have all the parts together to do an NP203 Doubler. So it's not so much the off road gearing that I'm worried about, it's driving through the mountains. I do see going to a larger tire size in the future, but it may be awhile.
