Subject: [lro] Normal road speeds?
This is my first land rover, 71' IIA 88", I have put on 33" tires, but I
am experiencing what I feel is low road speeds. Maybe it is the tires
but I had this notion that my rover would be velocity limited by the
transmission, hence the need for overdrives, which I have. The fact is
though that I can slowly accelerate to about 30-35 mph in third and
dont; accerate mutch inb fourth, maybe I can get the beast up to 50 in
3rd and a half, but this all seems very slow and wrong. Some feed back
on what I should be expecting would be very helpfull, as if I am just
being unrealistic then i won't spend money on taking it to the shop to
be looked at. Any thoughts? I thought I would be able to get her up to
60 maybe 70 with the big tires. Either  I am crazy or there is a
problem.
Thanks again,
