I'm changing the gears this weekend to 4.62's, I know the speedo is out but I had to push it real hard to do 100kph usually do about 90kph until it smells a hill or cross wind ;D
Anyways I was wondering if the gears will give me back 5th like when it was stock or more?
Oh ya the towing question I got a tent trailer that weighs 1000-1100 lbs loaded, my tracker could put it no problem (except for that hill thing I mentioned earlier) 100-110kph, think my sami with 31's and the gears can do it or should I buy " SLOW MOVING VEHICLE" signs?

If you have a stock transfer case those gears may not be low enough, if your running the stock 1.3 engine go to at least 4.88's, I pull a 1200 lb military m-100 1/4 ton trailer with my sammie with a 4:1 x-fer and stock gears but with a 16 valve 1.6, on the flats can get up to 32 mpg and with a large head wind 15 mpg hills about 23 mpg so I could use a lower gear to get about 3300 rpm's at 60 mph. on the flats you don't even know it's there.

I've got a 16V too, but stock gears. I've got 5th gear again, even with 33's, but I wouldn't begin to tow anything. I guess I'll see when my gear reduction is done. For now, I'm with fuelish: You need 1-More gear reduction, or 2-More motor.
