the t-18 should help out a bunch. it will double the crawl ratio.
t150 1st gear: 3:1 t18 : 6.32:1
ya, it sucks ass trying to rockcrawl in that thing right now. rock racing. it used to have 2.73's, too. imagine!! i put in used 3.55's, a little better, and free at the time.

Jan, I was cleaning out my barn this weekend and found a front drive shaft and starter from a CJ I used to own. If your brother wants them..free.Tell him I'll bring them into work if he wants.If not they are going in the rhubarb patch.
