Short answer.... it is not normal! Any sound like that is a sign that something is not right. Sounds like excessive backlash in the main mesh if it is a significant noise. This would either be created by a worn bearing or some other part wearing out. With that said, could be a small issue that wont ...

If you call around some gear makers, some of the smaller ones can knock them up for you pretty cheaply if it is a standard tooth size, etc. Although they would need ...

Yeah all these designs of twin head compressors have trouble with performance, they are great on the first tyre and then die fast after that..... Stick with an ARB, Bushranger or something similar (quality and warranty wise) If you read its comparo stats at the bottom of the page it drops from 150 ...

If it is like the Rocky, it is the same stud pattern as the Ford F150 which off memory is 5.25" pcd. If it is the same they are a common size so it can help on price. Just double check offsets.....

BE careful with the removable handle, if it is not fully inserted into its seat when jacking it can crack the seat itself. This doesnt make it fail catastrophically but it does render it useless. Have only seen this happen twice but it is twice as often as it should happen. Also, the 'Not suitable ...
