Even when rockcrawling you sometimes need some wheel speed, it definately is not nearly important in rockcrawling as say mudding but it does play a part.

Yeah. I've used my fair share of the "bump" method to get over rocks, but most of those I could have crawled if I had another tcase.

Or you could be like Marlin and run 3 cases. I think he's at like 1000:1. haha

dont need horsepower for what i do. If anything i have a toyota 2wd truck with factory turbo on it, i may through that in the crawler and my supra motor in the 2wd truck. But the 4cyl in the rock crawler is all i need. besides its not a stock motor anyways. it has a cam and dual timing chain conversion!!! haha.

And with 5.29 gears and 2 transfercases i have it. Well i want to be slower but well see.
