I believe it has 4.56 gears, but I could be wrong.

I haven't wheeled it in nearly 2 years, and I just need to get rid of it. It needs a lot of TLC, but should be easy to turn back into a capable family trail rig.

I haven't wheeled it recently, but when I did it handled most basic trails fine. For example I ran Pritchet Canyon at Grand Slam West around three yeas ago, and didd't have any problems until the end (rockpile?)

Problems:
- It has some sort of electrical drain that kills the battery if it sits for a couple days. This was my biggest problem with it. Since it wasn't my DD it was always dead, and becase a problem to constantly jumpstart. Once it got running though it ran fine.
- The passenger electric seat fried itself yesterday when I was putting it on the trailer. I don't know why, and this may be caused by the electrical problem.
- Interior needs good cleaning. It's sat closed up, but over the past year due to heat and humidity it's gotten very musty and mildewy inside. It needs a GOOD cleaning.
- The passenger side spring spacer broke out of it, so it needs that replaced.
- Engine seems to run ok, but it takes a while to get running after jumpstarted. Also I haven't driven it regularly in many years, so I can't really say with 100% certainty how reliable it is.

Spares:
- At once point I bought 4 TR beadlocks for it. I think I still have them all, and will throw them in.
- I have 1 spare rocker guard (ORGS Supernerf) for the driver's side
- I think I have a full set of spare axle shafts
- I think I have a spare set of CTM U-joints
