Re: Gearing change experiences/input

It sounds as though you are trying to get this done as cheap as possible, but think of this- if you do any off-roading at all- since you are already paying for tear down and setup for your rear gears- I'd recommend some sort of positive locking differential since the stock limited slip units are junk. My '05 has 3.73's- and if I decide to go to the 4.10, there's a Detroilt Locker in my future.

It's not the price, because everyone around me is about the same, $1500-$1700 for both. Just trying to get some real life experiences from people that have done the change I'm looking at doing.

The only off-roading I do is when I pull my Toyhauler in the sand, launch my boat or waverunners from the beach, and go in the forest/backroads to hunt, which it (Excursion) does fine. When I want to thrash off-road I do it in my buggy, that way I can tow it home when it breaks. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
