As the gearing is now, I'll try the 4wd, but once I start swapping rear gearing, I'll probably leave it in 2wd so I'm not spending trial and error money on two axles. I'm not planning on using the 4wd much anyway, mostly for the muddy lease roads/fields and snow
make sure to put a note on it you cant mistake and leave the hubs unlocked lol

Good chance I'll even go as far as pulling the front drive shaft.

well thats probably not needed but ifyou wanted to use the time to do u joints off the truck then you can do that. i would just make sure you in no mistakeable way scribe/mark the phasing so that you dont have to think extra about it if that ends up being a little bit

There's no trial and error needed. You already know how to calc rpms vs speed with different gear ratios. Settle in on your tire size and then pick a gear ratio. 4.10s or 4.56s are the 2 options that will give you the best performance, just depends how fast you drive it on the highway and where you want the rpms to land in 6th gear at your top cruising speed.

Very interesting build! Haven't seen anyone use one of the newer V6s yet or a TR6060 in a 4x4. Looking forward to hearing how well it works
