I did an offroad test on some pretty rugged terrain near my house. It was at night so I don't have any pictures unfortunately. I found that 4 wheel high was less than ideal but possible. I had to ride the clutch more than I wanted to on hills or tough places. Once I put it in 4 low though, it handled like a dream.

I love my 35" tires and I'm so glad I did it even with the 3.21 gears. I can't wait to upgrade my gears probably in 6 months to a year. 4.88 is so far what I'm leaning toward after all I've read. I will try and do a mountain terrain test here in the coming weeks so I can post that update also.

What is your gas mileage now compared to what it was before?
