[QUOTE="Eddyj, post: 547885, member: 3779"] For anyone looking to build a cheap rig. I will say that one thing that has been on my mind during the build, is the gearing and manual transmission . Yes I would prefer a auto, but at this point I love the simplicity and knowing it's going to get me back to the trailer even with a hole in the side of it. The gearing is very good for all around wheeling. While I was building I was always looking for a doubler for sale on here. However after one ride, I found it is actually pretty good with the 205 in low. If I do anything I'll do a rebuild with a lomax kit. I believe, that second in low is very close to first in high. Same with third and second. The 3 to 1 would split the gears instead of them being so close to each other. The 42 inch tires, rockwells and wore out 350 go good together. Just thought I would throw that out to anyone building. Could it be improved? Yep.. Does it need to be? Not immediately. [/QUOTE]
