Lower Gearing

I am in need of more crawl. My first low on LT 230 is a 52:1 with 4.75 CR&P.
I am considering MD 40% reduction gears or even more.
Does MD makes more than 40% redution gear and how much is it running for ?
has anyone fitted the ascroft underdrive or a dual transfer case on a Disco I?
thanks
Jay

This isn't low enough, Jay?
With those diff ratios I would be a very happy man. I'm only running 3.54:1 with 37" Crawlers and I am impressed with how low its still geared.
But hey...the MD 49% reduction would be nice too. Don't know how often I would use 1st gear with them though.
I think the underdrive would be better, but if you ever want a PTO winch...

With the rock crawling condition I am getting the Disco into no the 4.75 isn't low enough it is at 52:1 and with the ashcroft it will at 90:1 I am more concerned at loosing what I call the "momentum" gears needed for steep long climbs....
Best ostion I think is the 4.11 with the Aschcroft gears
But looking at the option available for the TOY low gearing it is so much more cheaper and very dissapointing....
