I guess what it comes down to, is that I am trying to compensate for the lack of gear-down options, with a little bit more power.
I have no delusions of running down mustangs, and riced out civics.
You guys think 32's are a no-go? I know I can make them fit, thats not the issue. I need to be able to climb with them.
The stock troop has enough power with the 30 inchers, but I have the feeling that the 32's would drag things down too much.
Anyone run 32's and stock gears with a 2.3? I am not worried about highway use. I have a suburban with a 454 to bring this to the trail. I am talking about trail speeds, and steep grades.
This is AZ, so rocky trails are the norm. For good example of the terrain, check out Triathlete's thread on Charlou Gap.
Also, i know this is not ideal. But I already have this truck, and I am partial to 1st gen troops. If I were able to accomplis the ideal, I would just buy a buggy and be done with it.
