dont bother regearing. i once had 33s with 4.10s and it was fine. whole lot faster then my runner is today

Yup. But you'll love 5.29 on the trail. Low gearing makes the five speed a magical thing when you're crawling.

The way I justified it to myself was, I know I'm going to upgrade someday to a bigger tire.

I keep looking at Dirctos build and feeling like I HAVE to at least go to 255s. Maybe 35"s if I feel I'm not going to lose too much crawling prowess.

And now I pretty much am going to have a 4 speed with a granny gear [emoji48]

My gas is free, so I only have to worry about blowing it up.

id love to see a video of your crawling speed once you get it installed. 5.29's are a 30% difference from 4.10's so it should make a huge difference offroad. Although your 5th gear will be lower than your current 4th gear. Highway cruising may be pretty interesting. At least you'll never need to downshift.

Well after I heat cycle it a few times I'm driving from East Texas to Round Rock. I'll post some crawl videos and my take on highway manners this weekend after I get back.

Thanks for the video. How have you been finding the street driving? And was that video with 32's?
