I just realized, that with my new 4.24:1 transfer case gears in my Sidekick, 1st gear high is almost exactly the same gear ratio as 5th GEAR LOW, and that 4-lo third is now lower than the original 4-lo first.

Yowie!

How much did those gears run you?

With shipping, just under $900.
Install was easy.

Kinda sucks when you only pay $2500 for your car and put 5k into it ;-)

Must be nice.  I paid $2,950 for mine, and probably have ten grand in it at least.

Dang, just started adding, and it looks like more than 11 grand...    

I dont think I want to add it all up. I love it and would not change a thing, but I bet the total would be scary.

Did you get out and try the 4.24 on a trail yet? If not be sure to have a friend with a open coke that they will spill everytime you take off to quick

Well, if I can get the tranny back in today, MAYBE tomorrow...

You'll love it.

The only down fall to mine was driving in sand.  Stock "lo" gears were perfect!

I drive most all of the sand now in 2wd "Hi" now.  Only one hill I can't do that with and it's only by a couple of feet.   I just can't make it to the top???

So, 4 lo, locked, and 6 grand, I'm always over the top!  Well, almost always.    Every once in a while it will take a second try.

I love sitting at the top of "Test/Challenge Hill" and watch all the other trucks "try" to make it up!
