Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi im about to buy some gears in the next few weeks and what i want to know is what other people think of their gears and which you think is better.
I know that the trail gears have unlimited warranty whereas S4 only have 2 years.
Thanks Mitch

There's your answer! I am about to buy the TG 6.5's from lowrangeoffroad. With the AU dollar the way it is, it works out at roughly $650AU for the gears, a rebuild kit and new output shaft pilot bearing - delivered to my door!

Pez

there is absolutely no question. its tt 6.5 all the way, about half as dear as s4 an come with unlimited waranty...

I'm very happy with my TT 6.5 gears and the service from Lowrangeoffroad.

Happy with my TG 6.5s too. As well as giving them a hard time in the bush I have done about 20 000km on road in the zook since they were put in.

Thanks Guys thats what i wanted to hear.

Oh and another thing, what do i need to get when i order them?
Do i buy the rebuild kit or just buy the bearings seperately and silicone the case together?
And is it advisable to buy the HD front output or just wait and see how it holds up?
Anything else i've missed?
Mitch

get the rebuild kit, keeps it all complete, you dont want to be destroying your new gears.
Front HD shaft is not needed,

There is a few different Rebuild Kits available through Lowrangeoffroad. If you are buying the 6.5's, then the best kit to get is the Gear Install Supplement Kit ($115USD).

I ordered mine today!

You get a rebuild kit with the TG 6.5 gears but you can add a couple of extra bits if you need them but you don't need to order an extra rebuild kit as well.

The "Gear Install Supplement Kit ($115USD)" that I mentioned is the correct kit IF you are buying the 6.5 gears, and if you wish to do a FULL rebuild of your case without 'doubling up' on any parts. It is up to you if you wish to do a full rebuild on your case or not.

cj - the "couple of extra bits" is exactly what this kit is... Sean from Lowrangeoffroad confirmed this for me today.

I choose to do a FULL rebuild of my transfer while it is apart - so I got the kit.

If you don't want to do a FULL rebuild of your transfer then that's fine too - Suit yourself!

don't forget to strengthen the case though once you fit the gears!!! I found out the hard way, and smashed the new gears and housing :(

While we are on the topic (sorry for hijack ) what is the general consensus on strengthening? For those on a slight budget, are transfer rings the go or not? If so, where is the best place to get one? (I did a quick search but did not find much relevant info on this.)

Cheers all,

The rings are good, PM roktoy (Chris) as he makes them. Also beef up the arms as these will bend.

Layto....

Your a champ. Cheers!

i just use the kong bucket and haven't had any dramas running the 6.5's and 35"tyres

dont know if anyone has found this yet but S4 gears on Ebay

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll ... :IT&ih=011

Yeah i saw them on eBay the other day for $749, from what i've heard S4 are more suited to a 33" tyre than TT 6.5's because they have like a 24% high range over something like 20%, is this true?

That's just one of BBM's ebay sales. You get the same price from them direct if you say you heard the deal on outers, cause we get special privaledges
