What Do You Consider To Be A Respectable Crawl Ratio?

[Nonesuch]

I can vouch for Nashu's (DBlazer) crawling ability. This guy can walk up anything that most have to get into the skinny pedal to get up. I shot the video of his 14FF shaft breaking which was quite impressive. What is really impressed me is a friend of mine with a 700r4/208 combo that snaped his 2 1/2 ton rockwell axle shaft with a 48" tire. Figure that one out 3.06 x 2.61 x 6.72 = 53.5:1 CR

Now to each their own. It also varies with driving style and terrain. How much control do you want and/or do you like to be on the edge? This crawl ratio, auto/manual debate has been going on for years and years. I see guys with sticks doing stuff that makes me pucker just watching. Sometimes I see them do stuff that makes me consider swapping over to a manual. In the end I like the slush box overall.

I am running an Atlas 4.3 and TH400 with 4.56's. I love the control you have with an auto and low crawl ratio. Compression braking is plentiful with the right setup. After watching Nashu crawl with so much control, I am now saving up for a Klune myself. I am running 40" Iroks compared to DBlazer's 44's.

O/T: Nashu, I have that tape packaged up but have consistantly forgot to go drop it off at the PO. I will try to remember and send it tomorrow.

How do you like the 400 and atlas? The next rig I build I want to be a buggy or a very small light truck and my plan is LS1, th400, 4.3 atlas and then save for a klune.

Yah, I did break the 14 bolt but it took almost 5 years of abuse!!!

JUSTIN, no wories, I appreciate ya sending it to me whenever!!!!

All I know is that if you’re crawling after anything less than 6 beers, that’s not respectable. /forums/images/graemlins/woot.gif /forums/images/graemlins/woot.gif /forums/images/graemlins/woot.gif
