Re: Lower Low Range
I have always wanted an Atlas ever since I first saw one. Nothing else like it as everything else is a compromise. I will probably get one in the fall as it will take me that long to save enough. Could do a doubler until then or just suck it up and drive what I have as it all works. Atlas II = someday.

Re: Lower Low Range
Started with 33's and 4.56-gears and moved up to 35's because I was scraping too much. Should have started with 35's and 4.88-gears as I was advised. Didn't listen.

Re: Lower Low Range
then you need to hit the harder trails! next time at rausch let's take a "before" picture of the underside of your rig, follow me on rock creek, and then take an "after" pictureLittle Napoleon wrote:I have smaller tires and don't drag
i have also wanted a 4spd atlas ever since i heard about them. super low range, plenty of torque, lots of flexibility in ratios, virtually indestructible. what's not to like besides the $$$?

Re: Lower Low Range
I remember a guy who started with 35's and 4.88 gears. After we rolled his Rubi back over, he only hung around for a little while.COH143 wrote:Started with 33's and 4.56-gears and moved up to 35's because I was scraping too much.

It always costs more to do it right, starting small and learning the ropes is what I consider "right".
There is no right line. Stuff like this is why I don't bother going to Rausch.Baseshakers wrote:

Re: Lower Low Range
Small tires don't impress. Women know the importance of hitting it hard with big rubber.

Re: Lower Low Range
the beauty of Rock Creek is there are an infiante number of lines... its always changing and the rocks move just a little with each passing of a rig... heaven on earth.... 
And Don the other beauty of Rausch if there is no need to go on RC, there are plenty of stocker frinedly and moderate trails. For the first 2 years I dodged the hard stuff and now that I want to play on the hard stuff its there..... the park allows you to find and stay in your comfort zone and most trails have a few places to duck out of if need be.

Re: Lower Low Range
He sold his Rubicon a month later. Problem with that was his Jeep was more capable than he was. Which is why I agree,...start small and build your Jeep as your experience warrants it.DDewar53 wrote: I remember a guy who started with 35's and 4.88 gears.
