Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi All
I live in Cape Town ,South Africa and have just joined this forum.
I have a 1996 80 series GX carb model cruiser.I recently fitted a 5" lift (OME) and added 35" Mickey Thompsom Muds.
The problem is that i need to change the diff ratio's.I currently have the standard 1:411 and i want to fit 1:488.
What are you guys running ?
Where in Melbourne could i source the crown wheel and pinion + kit.I need a reputable suplier.
I have some mates coming over in May to compete in the Outback Challenge (4 teams) They would brint it back for me
Could you supply me with details.
Please reply via forum or send me a PM

not to sure on melbourne, but sydney snake racing will have all you need

I bought mine from USA, from a place called G&J differentials, they have an ebay store. They were about half the price of anyone in aus, including freight.

Ditto. Gears for my 75 were a few hundred cheaper getting them from the states (through locktup4x4.com.au ) than locally. Mine are "genuine gear" brand - unsure if/what they make for the 80 series.

Is 4.88 a bit extreme for 35's? Even a ~4.56 will probably bring ratios back to lower than stock. (depending, of course, on the intended use of the cruiser!)
