I always figured 75/1 is about where true rock crawling begins.

Depends.  76:1 isn't enough for a JK Unlimited with the 3.6L and 4.10 gears.  But you can do just fine in the rocks in a flatty even at 37:1 if you actually have an engine with real bottom end torque.  Many ways to skin the cat, some are just more expensive than others.

I hope to see X98 in action someday. Maybe even drive it and try out those low gears. 8-)

X98 owns the Rock Garden on Chinaman Gulch:

If you google Chinaman Gulch Rock Garden, you will see that this is the hard line. Good job!

I was honored that Bob W let me drive X98 on a test drive today.  I wanted to feel how the low range gears feel in his newly installed T90C tranny. X98 can crawl at a very slow rate when compared to the stock 3A and 3B set up.  Watch the video and you will see the advantage this new setup offers. 

Thanks again Bob.

Tim, it was my pleasure to have you take X98 for a spin  :)

X98 performed good! It was a fun day of testing out the upper limits of what it could do. As expected X98 can't really compete with rigs running 35" and up tires. That CJ-7 in the photo has 42" tires.

Yes, private land is the only legal 4 wheeling in NY.

My TJ has flat fenders too. Those silly round fenders just crash into rocks and trees!!
