@reidthompson8979 3 года назад

This is some good info for me... Just got my license, planning a build on one of my father’s parts trucks, a 1969 Jeep Gladiator J3600, not necessarily for crawling, more for overlanding, and I might do 40’s.

@dylangreen9819 3 года назад

40s get pricy real quick and nor really needed for overlanding. I'd do 35s and an ls and let er eat 🤘

@reidthompson8979 3 года назад

@@dylangreen9819 after looking at M715’s, I’ll probably go with 37’s. I think 35’s would look too small on a full-size truck, but 37’s would be perfect. And, that way, I might not have to axle rebuild right away once I get ahold of some one tons. And no way I’m gonna do an LS, my dad is a Buick guy, which is why he got into these trucks, they came with Buick 350’s. I think he would disown me if I put a Chevy motor in it 😂

@Grewsum2Sum 3 года назад

Yea most people like the autos wheeling. We prefer the sticks still, little bit of an extra challenge but you dont have that torque converter pushing you down rocks

@CopeManMTNDEW 3 года назад

It was just a pain getting up and over obstacles without extra gearing. The auto was a easier cheaper solution. I have a manual shift controller on mine with lock up torque converter. Im happy with it so far. I got an atlas going in soon.
