Cheers all! I am a big kid at heart when it comes to snow... love the stuff!
Sorry about the shaky vid, I forgot the gimbal thing which sorts that out
The arches had to have a fair old trim for them tyres to fit in there. Please with them though. Nice and quiet for their size

Oh yes
60mph on the satnav is now 3600 RPM in top gear. Offroad was 2nd gear in that vid and downhill, but still plenty low enough in first for climbing up with the lockers on. Proper chuffed with it now The Redacted box is 1.5 high and 4.16 low (I think) so must be about right for the tyre size with 3.9 diffs and earlier gearbox. A load of CV grease into the RW box has made it a fair bit quieter as well. Need to ask RW about a speedo ring to match the tyre size better.
Gearbox is still a bit on the stiff side when shifting. Have the redline oil in them both. Is better, but still stiff. Might be the syncromesh going on the box as it helps to match revs

That's good to know
My trail gear 4.16 gears arrive tomorrow
So the 12% reduction in high should be just right for my 29 3/4 inch tyres

I agree with this bit. Hate it hate it hate it. Having a fourbie is just one way to get even but not to enjoy it. Hate it hate it; have I said that already.
Do it right - use Hammerite
When the blue light is flashing I am kidding.
