Mine is stock as a rock in gearing and no turbo.
Offroad I find mine quite alright, only time it sucks is on steep decents where it tends to run on a lot more, rock ledges are no drama given the increase in wheel diameter increases the vehicles ability over and above the diadvantage of higher gearing, if you know what I mean.
On road they go okay, but it's a bit more like driving a truck on the hills, just sucks away the power.
Man I want a V8 though!

Everyone has different opinions on what is good what isnt.
its been asked before, and some said they couldnt tell the difference (they then put the crackpipe down), others hated it.
Its a pure personal thing, how you drive, and what sort of driving you do..

I have a steep hill that I used to be able to JUST hold 3rd up sometimes with no turbo. Now with a turbo I can JUST hold 4th and any speed in 3rd Very happy. Standard gears etc

35's did slow my car down somewhat from the 32's that were on there and it put me off driving long distances too as it was just tiresome going back down through the gears at the sniff of a hill and you certainly have NO acceleration up a hill, so if you get baulked by a slower vehicle, your screwed. The car just feels breathless and has a distinct lack of response. One thing you can be sure of is that 5th gear won't wear out
It have a turbo charged IC setup now and it's great to drive. Still not the fastest acceleration from a standstill, but once in third gear and above it pulls along nicely and goes up hills much better.
If you live in a fairly flat city, which sydney is not, then you might get away with it, cos once it's up to speed it's not too bad.
Everyones opion will vary slightly and everyones 7% change varies too, best way is to go for a road test with a mates tyres if that is possible.
They do make a massive difference offroad though and i haven't found the gearing to be too bad as the TD42 seems to chug along at pretty low revs well.
Hops that helps.

Ive got 35's on my shorty safari and sure its a bit sluggish, but I never expected it to break land speed records in the first place. I can tow my ski boat behind it no worries and it will sit on 110 - 120km/h on the highway loaded up and with the boat on the back....drop it back to 4th on the slopes and there is no worries
