Man do I envy this whole thread.

It's no powerlifter and frankly East TN is really pretty hilly, but my old Yota has the twist to turn a sixth gear, hills included. The speedo is so far off, it's exactly right for if I was running a 3.35 rear, but I'm pretty sure the 3.73 was always the right ratio. But an extra gear up top, boy that'd be good.

Kudos, Dave - I'm really looking forward to seeing how this turns out.
