Hey guys!
I thought I would throw up a post to see if there is any interest ina group buy on Genuine Rockhopper Reduction gears to suit the GQ/GU Patrols.
Here is the deal.
We will need 12 sets to get the group buy price. We will do the gearsets at $879, and we will freight them to your door at no extra cost (Australia only).
Theses are the Genuine Rockhopper gears. They offer an 83% reduction in low range only, high range remains unchanged. These gears do not "whine" in low range, and they come with a 2 year limited warranty.
So, any takers?
Rick.

Will see how this thread goes, would prefer to keep it exclusive to Outers members (since they have to put up with the rest of my drivel in between little nuggets of gold like this offer) first, but if we cant raise the numbers here we will look at other options.
But thanks for the tip mate, I appreciate it.

I would be interested in 43% ones if should you offer them in the near future.
I'm going to 35"s so I need some gears but I don't want to go too low.

I'm also keen but would prefer the 43% gears unless convinced otherwise. Vehicle is an 06 GU coil cab tourer, TD42, and will be running 35s.

Hey guys,
Just a note to those asking about different ratios, BBM own the brand Rockhopper. The only ratio offered in a Rockhopper gearset is the 83% reduction. The other ratios are a competitors brand, thus, we do not offer them.
Thanks to all of those who have put their hand up, I will start a list with all of those who are ready and will edit it as we go. As soon as we have 12, we will start to get in touch to arrange payment.
Thanks again guys!!
Rick.

well i'm interested but concerned the gearing might be too low too, my mates have 4.6 diff geared, standard transfer patrols on 35's and the seem to do well. Would that be in some way compareable to a patrol with these reduction gears, 4.11 diff and 35's?

How much would you charge to fit them Rick ?

You will conquer obstacles at an even slower, more controlled manner than your mates with 4.6's do now. If your running 35's, I really think theses gears are the go.
