stock gears i believe, its got a newer 8.8 out of an exploder i think

thing goes anywhere, never been stuck yet haha

That old 2.8 should last if you take care of it man. Slow but stout.

Looks like a decent wheeler man. Good luck w it

Stock gears with 35's ? That thing must be a complete dog. When i went from 31's to 33's with stock gears, my 85 was worthless and couldnt even get out of a snails way. Even with the 4.88's i got now and 34 tsl's its slow as hell. Way underpowered engine but a cockroach thats forsure, meaning its hard to kill. my 2.8 has survived countless 7k rpm shifts, extreme overheating ect and it still kicking strong. Welcome to the station bud

Welcome to TRS. Your going to love it here. Nice rig, why is the 2.8 a bad idea? drop a 4.0 into it then!
