Easy tiger...

If you fit the the ring and pinions from a 2.4 into the 3ltr you will get some of the gearing back.

However, how will you manage to climb into a Surf lifted high enough for 35s?

44s on 21 lift lol no way,... i manage 85 -90 tops on my 33s hoping to swap em for some 31x10.5s maybe top 100

What seats have you got in there Steve? I meant to have a look when I saw you back in July but I forgot.

If the devil had a car it would be Lucifer if the Devil had a boat it would be a Phantom. Thats my theorie anyway (sorry to all the spelling police if thats wrong). Its really sad that I stopped coming here because this place became a playground. I really enjoyed it here. I'll lurk now and again and if it becomes how it used to be maybe I'll come back. Waits for reasurance.

[BUSHWHACKER]

............Waits for reasurance.

How long have you got?

[stormforce]

he had 39's .....but he has gone bigger that that now

Yea i got those ones and Steve has now gone up to 44's

Would it be easier to just swap the rear axel over complete with rear diff to get some of the gearing back or are you on about g/box gearing

Can it not even be a straight diff swap??

I have a caravan step at the ready. That or i get a standard 3rd gen in baby blue and deny my batty boy tendancies.

Some interesting reading,hmmmmmm. So 35's would be terrible!

35s would be no worse than 33s {maybe even a little better} if you did the diff swaps.

A Standard 3.0ltr is a G294 open diff or a G295 lsd diff.
A Standard 2.4ltr is a G144 open diff or a G145 lds diff

What your interested in is that the G294 or G295 is a 4.100
Where as a G144 or G145 is a 4.875.

This a fairly significant drop in gearing and would allow you to run 35s without the £500 cost of the popular 5.100 ring and pinion kit for the Surf.

Just dont know!! Am i just better off gettin a 3rd gen and treat it to a nice set of 32's have power and economy and a good all rounder.?

Done the whole lifted 2nd gen thing already.
