4.7s on 35 inch pedes

Post by tronka-truck »

Hey all, i know most people run 4.11's but i was wondering if anyone runs 4.7s, im trying to decide which way to go as i don't want to go down the engine transfer way, but the old two door on 35's could use a little help. And as the car is a toolangi tracktor i'm not concerned as i don't do very long drives.

Cheers!

Do you mean stock 4.7 gears?

If so, then no. They are terribly weak and will probably implode at the first sight of a tyre bigger than 29".

Cheers matt, but wondering why you have not used them? why did you opt for them instead of 4.7s

excellent idea !

I am very keen to get these to the Australian market and as such will better any KAM price, these are also stronger gears because of the helix angle and material,

i got the 4.11's to put under my rangie with 33's, some people say the 4.11's match 33's gearing, others say 35's

right now i dont have the spare time or money to set these into my car, if i were to, i would look into pegging the diffs, but no idea how much it would cost,

so therefore im leaving my standard gearing setup leaving me the option to run some 32' A/T on the road

the 4.11's are new still in boxes if interested

4.11's match 33's, 4.3 match 35's but 4.3 isn't a gear that you have been able to get with any reasonable ease for a Rover in the past which is why they are run with 35's.
