cant answer your questions.
I have rockhoppers, 6:1. no probs they are good.

seems your good at shattering things. ie rear locker + rockhoppers, maybe drive a bit easier!

well by the look of it the locker has let go due to one of the bolt heads snapping of and falling into the crown wheel.

And i had s1 rockhoppers and i've been told that they had a bad batch when i bought mine thats why you can't buy new s1 rockhoppers anymore.

i have had, seen, used both rockhoppers and calmini gears in different ratios..

i do not think the quality of either is any different from each other...

i have calmini 5.14's on order... will have them in the zuk by august hopefully.

the high range reduction suits 31's better IMHO... if i go as far as 32/33's itll be time for lux diffs with lower ratios in em anyway.

I dsid this to my coily.. Cost $250 for the gear welding, $75 to buy the 1ly gears and I got given the x-fer case. I drive it hard on Toyota diffs and 33's. No problems and very happy with it. Also ARB airlocker rear and CIG front.
