How often do you actually use 4WD? On a sidenote, even though it's not the best approach, I'm aware of some part-time 4WD vehicles which don't have the same gearing on both differentials, limiting the usage of 4WD for really slippy conditions and lower speeds on a safety and reliability concern.

I would like to drop drop down to maybe 3.73s from the 4.10s i have and swap the 4l80 for a 6 speed manual.
With a wider gear-spread for the transmission and a taller rear-end, it would be a good option. Not to mention manuals usually have a lower weight.

But the cost of both those is a bit much for me currently.
So I guess a Diesel swap is unfortunately also out of question too.
