Using a Syncro for any real four wheeling, you'll quickly realize that even the low gear on the Syncro isn't low enough for many off-road adventures. I'll stick with the 14" wheels until a pile of cash lands in my front yard enabling me to change the differential gears to compensate for the larger wheels. Jim Davis
