"The "Rock Block" is a simple, compact gear reduction unit for the gearing needs of today's extreme off-road enthusiast. This unit is a serious MUST-HAVE for the rock crawler! It not only has a 1:816 ratio but a straight through 1:1 as well. In combination with your Samurai transfer case, it can be used for an instant 2-low AND can almost double your transfer cases current low range gearing! Your Samurai will now have 4 selectable gear ranges! This unit is very simple to install - takes approximately 20 minutes. It simply replaces the intermediate drive shaft. It comes with a new removable cross member which includes a full-circle unbreakable rear transmission mount and block mount.

**For off-road use only - NOT recommended for daily drivers***

Item # ROC-400 Price $1495.00
Core charge $100.00 (intermediate drive shaft core required)"

Interesting point about the not for daily drivers comment - I wonder why? Heat, vibration, gearbox output/transfer input wear?

PS - been a bit quiet on line recently Pete? Has Niko been busy elsewhere?

Thanks for that Steve, I was more interested in the Thorax but I couldn't find either.

Yes, I have been working flat out for the last 3 months, I finished a horror film called Storm Warning a few weeks ago, it was a lot of fun and we went though gallons and gallons of blood and trailer loads of gizzards
and while horror is not my prefered genre', I cant wait to see it
and I went from a blood fest to a chick fest as I am now on a pilot for a new series that will go into production later this year, I am looking forward to some time off very soon.
