--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyone got em or had em.
Had a GU petrol 4.5 a couple years back and i had 85% Rockhopper transfer gears.
I found them great for rockcrawling on real had shit, but they shitted me big time for normal trips such as high country and meduim touring stuff.
I now have a 4.2 Turbo GU with an upgrade and 4.3 diff ratios and i run 36s
I am finding hwy performance is fine but i am running out of low speed control in low range.
i am considering the newer 43% Tansfer gears.
Any opinoins would be great.
Thanks
Grant.

You're looking at around $1600 fully installed.

Got my gears about a month ago from bbm, i did end up getting the 85% $995 on sale, i would say the 43%'s would be the same price.
Fitted them myself........prick of a job

Unfortunatly BBM sells Rockhoppers which are much cheaper than Gearmasters, and Rockhopper do not do 43% Ratios.
Not unless they are doing them now!
