I think it should be called the "Mitsu Way" and not the "American Way" as our rigs have MUCH lower Differential gear ratios than the typical "American Rig" STOCK. I'm not talking about "custom built" rig's, But the problem for most of us is that there isn't enough power, and/or enough low range ratio for technical "rock crawling". Lloyd's working on one solution, and I'm working on another. BOTH are EXPENSIVE!!!!, but both should fix the problem.
