Importance of gearing with bigger tyres

I had a 1988 GQ TB42 with 33s for a while with standard 4.1 gears and didnt think much of changing the gear ratios... I have borrowed my father in laws maverick for a couple of days which is a very tidy rig TB42 aswell, only has 80,000ks on the clock and i completly forgot how much power the 33s took to turn with wrong gearing.

So in this little rant i guess im trying to say if you put bigger tyres on your GQ make sure you do the gears if you can afford it as the difference is amasing.
