No, i dont have tachometer, rpms measured "by ear" - probably not best way of course. Estonia is flat and ca 50 metres from sea level everywhere so no driving problems. Only two "real" mountains :) And i usually dont carry anything heavy. What i found - without roof truck runs way better, it is...

Thanks, good hint about driveshaft, will measure it tomorrow. If angle will be too big, i probably can use double u-joint shaft, like on my ´74 Cherokee front driveshaft. Will be weaker but this is first thing that come to my mind. :)

Thanks for reply Mike! Yes, i dont assume modern truck feel, just lower rpm on tarmac. If your M1010 have 4.56:1 ratio, then i can probably see with my 3.08:1 rpms close to raceptable 1800ish with 65mph speeds. This is good. On offroad, is OD unit will be safe, i.e. not hanging too low or...

Old topic but still relevant. I have ´86 M1009. All stock, exept 33" tires. Technically fine, some rust on body, nothing serious. It is great in our forest roads etc but from time to time i´d like to drive it on highway. For my liking revs are too high at 110...120kmh (68...75mph) and lets face...
