Eagle with Lo need Gears?

[Jesse <j2sax@xxxxxxxxx>]

So, I have been thinking again about my Eagle
Projects.  My Kammster is going to be the real
offroader with custom (ie, heavier Sq tube) bumpers,
brush guard, some panel protection, 258 (with a
stroked 4.0 later), T5 trans, 209 TC (2 spd), 3.54
gears, sligth lift and larger tires.  Should be pretty
fun...

The SX4 I am building for my son will be a 258 4 spd
with 2 spd 219 TC but basically stock... for now
anyway!  Do you think with the low range capabilities
of the 219 (or maybe 229) that I should leave the
stock gearing alone... I believe they are 2.73's?  

I was going to swipe the 3.54 gears from a 4 cyl SX4,
but now that I think about it, since the tires are
going to be essentially stock, I bet the low speed
capability of the 219 should be sufficient for trail
running, mild hillclimbing and the few snows we might
have out here.  Opinions?  

Thanks and have a great weekend, 

Jesse
