Yep, they're doing some pretty cool stuff with Troopers/Jackaroos over in Iceland. They actually have a 5.38:1 ring gear/pinion set to go with the big tyres. Here's the link to the site:

What size are those? 44's? You reckon 5.38 would be low enough to turn those suckers? If you wanna see some cool 4WD Action from Iceland do a search on Icelandic Hill Climbs. I have a cool link on my PC at work I'll post. Has some cool vid clips too! |

Yep Steve those particular ones are 44s. The 5.38 compares to the 4.3s on our standard rigs so is a reasonable increase but probably not for 44s I agree. Would be keen to see the link if you can find it.
Cheers,
Noel |

your jackaroo would not have any problems with ground clearance with a set of 44s, you would just need a ladder to get in he he he |

Cheers for that Steve.
Those guys are definately mad.
Suprisingly there weren't any Isuzus involved... :wink:
