Twitchiness with ACE is good, steering is very light and less self centring than stock / 2"

I'm ecstatic with the handling with the 3deg bushes....

The continuing build rolls on!!!
(Roof lining, interior etc come out next week)

Try the stock gearing and see what you think.. The D2 here ran 265-75-16s for 7 years like that (Auto)

Dont run 4.11's with 32's you'll rev higher than needed and lose some economy.

4.11's are for 33" up There are 3.9's though that will work nice with a 32 as an everyday option.

Thanks Mike. I had always thought 4.11's were too much considering that this is what people put in for 35s etc.

Do you know anyone that makes the 3.9's?

4.11's will correct the gearing for 33's on a RRC or Disco. 35's are about 5 or 6% out again with these gears. I'm pretty sure I calculated a while ago that 35's are corrected with 4.3 gears, but they are not a real Rover option or very good in terms of strength for tyres that size.
