If you double the gear ratio you also double the torque to the wheels. But
more importantly, at low speeds, it spaces the ratios really close together so
that you you are better able to be in the right gear for the situation.
This helps *alot* when offroading; not enough gearing and you bog the engine,
too much and you're revving like a maniac and/or spinning the tires. It
basically turns a 4(or 5) speed tranny into an 8(or 10) speed.
