Diff ratios
Hey All
Just doing some research in preparation for buying my rangie and I was just wanting to know a bit more about replacement Cw&P gears. It looks like most people go for 4.11's but you can get 4.27's, 4.75's etc.
Correct me if Im wrong, but 4.11's will still be a little tall for a rangie which will mean revs at 100km/hr will be lower giving good mileage, but it will mean less power. I am setting the rangie up as a weekend toy so offroad ability is a priority and being in eastern Melbourne its not that far to all the good spots anyway.
So if I am fitting 35's would I be best getting higher ratio gears? This would compensate for not changing the transfer case gears so that low 1st would be lower right?
And can someone clarify something else for me? When people talk about putting in Toyota centres are we talking about the spider gears or the CW&P? And does the Jac Mac 6 pinion carrier replace these parts or am I totally on the wrong line?
Am currently weighing up whether I go through jacmac for diff locks, axles, CW&P or whether I would go through with ARB difflocks, hytuff axles, and ashcroft CW&P. Any comments on which is a better setup? They end up costing about the same...

4.11 and 35's brings it pretty close to standard gearing.
Go Jacmac
The toy conversion uses hilux diff in the rear and 80 or 100 series cruiser diff in the front, as in the whole centre. So if you bust one you can just pop the centre out and put in another centre.

Hmmm... I had really decided on a rangie and plus Im not that tech savvy that I could swap everything over.
What did you want for it? Are you starting something else or just over it?

You can get all your gear for a toyota swap from Keith at the above link or strengthened rover gear.

My driving has changed, as has the family and so I dont use any of it's potential. It has a couple of minor cosmetic blemishes. 1 flare is cracked, it has the infamous roof lining sag and a dent in one door. Mechanically it is excellent. the 4.6 has done about 15 - 20,000 km with oil changes done (mobil synthetic) every 6 - 7 months regardless of distance travelled. the gas was put on it dec 07 and so is just over 12 months old and has under body tanks. I am now in need of something a bit bigger and that is more suited to touring rather than double diff locked & 35 inch land. the last time I drove this thing in anger was setting up for Ateco (july 08).mcdisco wrote:Hmmm...

Just take it to OBC and have some fun with it mate
I've got Toy 4.3:1 with 37s and love it.mcdisco wrote:Thanks Trobbo, thought I would need something bigger. Might go the 4.3 toyo option.
Angus
Having said that, if I were to do it again I wold probably use 4.56:1 gears instead. Just to get that little bit more punch off the line on road and bit better than stock off-road...but with 37s
Yeah I know.cloughy wrote:Slunnie wrote:200tdi, 3.54, 35's..... you have to have performance before you have performance issues.
But the 200tdi spits out 120hp at the flywheel and is enough to push the old girl at 150 without any drama's.

ah...slow enough to have good control. I don't want to be having to rev the crap out of the engine just to get over things...better gearing, better control.
