Would a Rocklobster make it better on road ? was created by Mud_Muppet

I'm fully aware of the benefits of the offroad awesomeness but as I drive my jimny Monday to Friday would it make any difference to normal 2wd gearing as my 30inch special tracks, winch and roll cage make it a bit of a chore on my standard gearing

Cheers guys

2001 Red Tin Top,
4.5 inch ORA lift kit,
Pro Comp steering damper
Kap Winch Bumper,
White Weller offset Rims with 30" Insa Turbo Special Tracks,
CB Radio,
Stripped Interia
Roof Rack with 4 front Wipac,
Rear Wipac recovery Lights
.....Plenty more on its way !!!!

Yes it will make it a bit easier to drive, as a rocklobster is around 10% reduction in high range. And much much better offroad in low range :-)

Yes mate , although the top gear is reduced it is offset by the larger tyres so you dont get much difference top end , bottom end especially setting off is much better

The 5.14:1 is an 18% reduction in high range, which would probably fit your 30" tyres great
