So I would like to stick with my 3.2 liter SOHC engine with my 4l30e (whatever the sequence is) Automatic tranny.

Or am I better off just running tera lows and calling it good.

With an autimatic just install the Tera Lows and put your money in the bank. Dual cases are nice to have for bragging rights but you'll find you won't use all the gears you've spent your hard earned money on.

I have used my stupid-low (211:1) in a handful of situations, but it was always an optional obstacle.

I remember one time when 'stupid low' almost endoed your Amigo onto its canoe.

Yup -- I remember that, too! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" />

I don't have any pix, either, as I recall, I was tailgunning and folks only turned around to look because they heard a 4ZE1 revving, valves floating, and wondered why. The wheelstand happened quick enough to evade capture on film.

I was descending a pretty steep bit on Hole in the Rock, playing with my newly-installed low-low-low transmission and transfer case gears, just idling steeply downward against engine compression and feeling SUPREMELY in control. I was having so much fun that I failed to notice the large hole that I drove the front wheel into. I *did* however notice the end-over that it caused, so I stomped on the gas to motor out of it. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/coolg.gif" alt="" />
...the problem was that I was still in stupid-low, chugging along in 211:1. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" />
Over-the-ground speed at idle is slow... and floored, engine screaming, it really ain't much faster. I felt both rear wheels come up and felt the truck start to twist a little bit before the front wheel hit the bottom of the hole and started to push back. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> UZI bicycled for what seemed like forever (later reports estimated this at mebbe a second or two at most), and then the rear end started to come back down, luckily, only a little bit sideways. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/mrt.gif" alt="" />
When all four wheels got good and planted, I took my foot out of redline, and shifted out of silly-low, feeling lucky, stupid, and relieved all at once.

The moral to this story: EVERYTHING goes slow *IN* the truck at those kinds of wheelspeeds, but the truck can move much faster relative to the terrain, wheelspeed notwithstanding.

Good times, Steve! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> I'll always remember Walt and Larry from that trip, as well. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> Next time, Steve, I'm taking enough time to hike down to the water... would be WAY cool to paddle across and camp opposite, up top in the real Hole. I still recall with a smile the looks of incredulity I received wending my way across the high desert with water transportation strapped atop the Amigo. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" />

Why not just push in the clutch Randii?
