Low Range Gearsets

Post by BigMav »

G'day all, I've currently got the gearbox and transfer case sitting next to my mav because i'm replacing the rear main seal. The thought crossed my mind that I should put a new gearset in while its all out and easy to get to. (any excuse!) I shopped around on the phone and most places up here in Brisvegas need to ship them up from sydney and I can't wait that long I need the vehicle back and running immediately.

I investigated the gearmaster ones sold by marks adaptors and also the rockhopper sets. They are both similarly priced at around $1200 supply. The marks adaptors provided 87% reduction where as the rockhoppers 81%. I would think the difference would be very little in real terms. Anyone got any opinions on quality, ease of fitment of each brand? I don't think it would be a difficult job really, there isn't much in the kits themselves.

Ya might also try asking this in the nissan section, probably a better chance of getting a response from someone who's actually fitted a set
