Re: Final drive ratio

[Steve Stegmann <stegmann@domain.elided>]

Yeah, afraid new gears for the front & Rear axles would be the deal.  You 
can't change tire size enough to really change it much without a 
lift/fender trimming.

The gears aren't really all that expensive, it's the installation that 
takes the time/money.  Some of the Digesters have changed their gears, 
they can tell you how big a deal it was.   Anybody???
