    Saw a documentary with a guy that climbed a mountain without arms and legs. Its all about the mindset. I didnt mind my 410, switched to a 293 for gas consumption, as the revs were high on the freeway

          was the mountain like a mole hill or more like mt hood? LOL just kidding. its not only about mindset, but also adapting to what you are given and dreaming up unique solutions.

              I think the 3.73 or 3.46 are perfect on the m42 the 4.10 is stupidly unnecessary

                  diff switch went off without a hitch hahaha thats fun to say

                  the 3.25 is just what I wanted, the engine can go up hills just fine. cant spin the bald rear tires in the rain in 1st though, which is what I wanted - something to keep me out of trouble. overall Im happy, and the old open diff leaked like a sieve so Im glad its outta there. Ive been on the hunt for a 3.46 lsd, Im sure Ill find one by Summer time.
