Re: JB Conversions' New LoMax NP205 with 3:1 Low Range

All pretty academic to me since I moved and decided to restore my '72, but interesting to think about nonetheless ....
I agree with the interesting part. Alot of things to think about when you start thinking about it...

I guess I need to go watch the crawlers someday. I very, very seldom use low range in my stock 205 let alone go lower yet!
My theory is "build a bigger engine"! Hahaha
