Thread: 33'' do you need to change your gearing

It hasn't bothered my fender.They are better in every way. Pat

Don't know about gearing on the county but I agree with the previous post.
No change required on the fenda

Fine on my defender. I would actually like to have a higher ratio still for road use.

Second that.I'm getting D/gas fitted if the tank ever turns up and it will run out of gears long before it runs out of puff. Pat

my fender 200tdi handled 35s ok without any gearing but i wouldnt put them on my 3.5 county as it has less power even with 31s

thanks for that looks like i'll be putting 33's on then. Defmec do you have a 3.5 county if so do recken the engine runs out of grunt and what mods have you done.

The 3.5 has plenty of power,just not compared to modern engines.You can work them easily,remember when they came out most Jap 4wd's had 2.0-2.2 petrol-diesels that couldn't pull the skin off burnt milk. Pat

33's are fine (on my old 95 130fender), but my 35's are geared to high for steep decends
