Wow, like you said, look at that first gear ratio! while I don't intend to rock crawl and it is certainly not a rock crawlin' veh, this thing has very decent out of the box crawl ratio--
4.17 1st gear
3.55 rear axle
2.48 low trans case
too bad stock I have no skid plates; given I don't want to modify the height other than larger tires, I really would like to protect the guts of this thing.
Thanks!
