i got stock gearing in it now, i want to switch to 4:56's really bad though, how do v6 3rd members work with a 4 cylinder work? whats the difference between the v6 and 4 cylinder 3rd members? i dont really have $500 to be spending on gears right now though at least not till i get a job.

i need to re-gear it but i dont know what gears to get. im thinkin 4:56's but im not sure. would 4:88's be to low? would 4:56's be to low or to high? i still need to be able to hit 50 m.p.h. with the 4 speed trans so whats the lowest i can go with that in mind?

i finally ordered some tires! 35" bfg mud terrain km2's but they're 2-4 weeks out. ill get pics up when i get em, they don't look like a regular mud terrain. but they're 12.50's instead of 14.50's so they fit on my wheel and they're 35" instead of 36" and they're not bias ply, woot!

shipping on a 3rd is usually around $40-60 depending on packageing head light buckets can usually just be flat rate shipped easily
