gear ratios

(1/1)

lambert:
is it possible to lower the ratios of individual gears in an lt77 box? i know that there are different high ratios available in the lt230 but that is for all gears. reason being is two fold, first having a lower first high would be easier when setting off with the big trailer than having to swap between low second and high first in one change; second a lower low first would offer more control on rocky lanes.

so can it be done and if so by how much could it be reduced? cheers in advance.

dxmedia:
Can't speak for landrovers, but terra low gear sets can be had for most 4x4's. The provide a lower 'low' ratio. A quick google should give an indication on their availability and the price (not 'that' much for other 4x4s)

What about fitting a 2nd transfer case?

lambert:
generally the gears are well placed for most jobs butin some cases a crawler first in high range could be more use than a full set below low. will look into the terras cheers.

Range Rover Blues:
The TDi already has a lower 1st gear than the V8, I looked into fitting one on Blue for the same reason but I think the box would get trashed by the extra torque.

Good luck with your quest ;)
