For your basic crawl ratio spec, 100:1 is the target range for technical 4-wheeling, like rocks and really rough terrain. So given the specs on the H3 the crawl ration is more like 90:1
1.8 x 3.06 x 4.03 x 4.10 = 91.0:1
The big problem with the 4:1 t-case is that it really takes away from the capability of the rig in some situation, but enhances it for others. Mud and deep sand really need higher wheel speed so the 4:1 t-case probably wouldn't be a good choice for that. But on techincal trails and in the rocks, the lower t-case gearing really shines through. So pick you poison when selecting your t-case gearing.

Do you choose men with the same technical savey that you presented the above with?
