I got 40's on now but it ran 42" before I got it so not sure if I should stick to 40's or going up to 42's after all I will be driving it to the trails and home so are 42's just going to be too much for my little 3.slow.

What's the thoughts from all the wise folks here?

Well after running my first freeway trip up hills on my 40's I know I'm not going to 42's having to down shift to third to make it up some hills was bad enough with my 40's

Still have the 3.slow or the 3.4?

I’m rocking the 2.4 4cyl on 37s - so I bet even on 42s you’d beat me up the hill!  And I’m building my axles to run 39.5s /40s so I’m sure I’ll be last up the hills after that. LOL It really is a lot of money to go slow.grin

Still the 3.slow for me for now, but mine is smog exempt so might go to an LS in the future

Actually the real dream would be a 4bt motor but we'll see what I can get when it's time
