Tested Crawler.
« on: August 25, 2004, 04:12:45 AM »
Tested out the crawler gears and it still doesn't seem low enough. Either that, or I drive too fast ;D

Without a front Locker I still like to "Bump up" over things as not to get stuck.
Followed FlexMonger and his friends last weekend.
Just when I thought I was getting the hang of this,  I realized just how much I didn't know ;D
But thats half the fun.

I already have a GV 3rd member and an open front diff. That should protect me from any breakage. Right?
I'm swapping out to Yota axles as soon as I find out how to do it.

I reckon  ARB lockers and auto helps me, that and knowing when to back off the loud pedal.

Yes, but I know it's just a matter of time but it's not as hard on it as a manual and an open diff or auto locker. I will probably go Anvil when I put some 5.83's in  $$$$$$.
