That's what being a engineer does.  makes you build bad ass stuff that is hard to work on hahaha.   Rick wrote: Odyknuck wrote: Chris, replacing the the gearset is the easy part. Getting to the trans is the time consumming part. 45 hours is on the high side and if all goes well the whole job would take about 35 hours.   Is that a buggy or something going to the space station |

dang oddy, that is a bunch of stuff crammed in a small area , I still think in the end results you would be happier changing the gears and keeping the taller/longer lasting tires though

Well, you may be right however, as it turns out according to the on line Weddle gear calculator the difference between a 3:44 and a 3:75 1st gear is very close to the difference between a 31" and a 33" tire. The difference at 2000 RPM is .1 MPH. It will also give me a little more wheel speed in 2nd as the highest ratio I can get for the later model Vanagon trans is 2:36. So my solution was to buy a pair of 31" Boggers in lieu of the gears. I will only be losing 1" or so of ground clearence so I will still have 15". Now let the cuttin begin! Now if I can just find some one close to me in Ohio to cut them!
