Moving to the Asheville area from Louisiana.... just wondering what Tcase and R&P gears most run in that area? Will I need a tcase of 6.5:1 and R&P of 4.57 or 5.38 to get up and down the hills? I know it depends on what kind of wheelin you plan on doing -- i really dont even know what's up there -- I just want to get the samurai ready for general riding in the asheville area.

My setup: 90 Samurai 1.6/8v with 31" tires... will go to 33" if they ride decent. gears are stock...about to place an order for Tcase gears and R&P gears (if needed)...

Thanks for the help!
 
Well just depends on how extreme u wanna go. My nephew has a Sami about like yours & I have a Trooper. We both run 4:1 transfer case & 4:56 gears. We have a ball but both of us still use our rigs for daily drivers.
 
Cool...yea it's a tough choice because when you go to a 6.5:1 tcase and change the R&P you really take it from a "DD" mode. The 4. tcases r defiantely more DD friendly when the r&p is changed.

Is there anyone in the area who does or helps out with the Yota axle swap?
