Yeh BBM stocks em, best mod ever for a sierra.
If youre not mechanically minded, the instructions are shite, but saying that if youre not mechanically minded you shouldnt be stripping youre transfer anyway.

If you find a list of tools to get before you start, safety warnings, 6 pages of plain english, step by step instructions with detailed photos and torque settings to be inadequate, then I'd suggest ' not mechanically minded' is an understatement.

Liam told me even I could understand them, So I think the instructions must be alright.

Be sure to use those terms when you buy, I am sure they will give you a huge discount :roll:

Theyre pretty well priced gearing mate, you couldnt land em here for much less than that and they obviously buy in bulk. Ya cant give mates rates to everyone either, a living has to be made from the business.

Sorry couldn't resist :rofl:

Yes the rockhoppers make a huge difference and they are a very worthwhile purchase. Good thing is they don't depreciate much like most car parts coz they're popular! That's as long as you dont break them!
