Mav did you have 4.88 or 5.29s in yours?

Mine is 5 speed 6.5s and factory 4.11 but I will be putting nittro diff gears in but I am tossed between 5.29s or 4.88s. Its just one of those things I don't want to buy twice. Even with running 40s I think the 5.29s will be to low. Any input guys.

I will be locked front and rear, longfields in the front and in time it will have rear steer. 40 or 42 iroks

If I had a Toyota I would go to the toyota section. How many toyotas run suzi engines??? The people I am asking are rob and Mav they both have or have had SUZUKI's with 60 diffs with sierra transfers and vitara engines. The exact set up as mine.
And I trust what they say unlike most so keep your :roll: :roll: to your self bye bye now :finger: .

I would personally use the 5.29's if you were running the 40's. Of coarse they are weaker though. This is for a mostly rock crawling scenario.

I have dual transfers at the moment and could easily run 40's with the 4.88 diff gears. I mgoing back to single transfer.

Im not sure i would go up to 40's in mine and im pretty sure Rob is of the same opinion.

It counts you out of some competitions and also cost you time/points in others.

Thanks mate! What twin set up do you have? Vitara/sierra? I will be keeping your old tyres around for the comps like willowglen that have the 37" max rules. The 40s will be for fun, other events and wank factor. Did you run longfields in your old girl?
