4.875 diff gears

Post by justinshere »

Anyone ever destroyed 4.8s in their GQ/GU?
If so what size rubber were u running and what engine was pushing it.
Im just wondering weather to stick with standard gears or 4.8s.
Thoughts.....

Cheers

Thinking about it... If they can last under a nissan i think a lux would have a hell of a time trying to break one.

Thanks guys.

Yeah its for a lux, i want to use GUs FnR just for the little big extra strength in the front.
Im putting the rear in first and gettin it all sorted before i start the front, so i want a ratio that lux and patrol have in common. Cant use 4.3s cos they are slightly different - 4.300 and 4.375. Dont want 4.1s
I have 4.88s for a lux already.
I may just try n keep genuine nissan 4.3s or 4.6s for the extra strength cant use 4wd for a while that'll be all

Running a 4.3 and a 4.375, will make 2/10's of fark all difference

i wouldnt worry about it if it was in mud or something but i prefer rockcrawling, might bind it up too much, something will have to break!
