It seems like a lot of people may give the YXZ a second look at if it had a deeper first gear or low range configuration.....do you think a set of portals would sway sales for more lower speed trail riding or clinbing?

That new K&T turbo kit looks awesome. Probably the nicest turbo kit I've seen. Equal length stainless header and Verizon band clamps. Nice stuff with the kit.
