Outer Limits 4x4 Board

gday, ive got 32 inch simex extreme trekkers 32/10.5/16's just wandering if i would need to run different diff ratios my model of suzuki is a 1994 sierra cheers

nah just run some transfer case gears.......

either diff ratios or transfer gears will really be required unless you like putting clutches in you car and those easy glide takeoffs.

transfer gears will be the least headache I think.

got them?

yep
but joe I ment for him to fit not in the long run.
diffs are alot of work for some people.

Yes you would need to run reduction gearing. Zooks have a really crap low range with standard 26" tyres letalone 32".
Highly recommend you get transfer gearing unless you can get different gearing for youre diffs cheap.

i have transfer gears abd run 35s with no change to the diff works a treat

thanks for ya help fellas, would rockhopper gears be the better option, or wat would u recomend cheers

I use Rockhoppers from BBM, never had a problem.

I use trailgear 6.5.1s... never had a problem with them. Goes slower than a month of wet sundays...thats onroad too...lol

yer i might go with rockhopper, not to badly priced either, bud thanks for help guys cheers, also can u fit in the rockhopper gears ya self, or get someone else to put em in who know wat there doing .

Its really easy all you need is a press and a puller. I use a bottle jack, couple of bricks and an 80series cruiser for my press...lol

no worreis then thanks for ya help mate !

stick with series 1 rockhoppers for 32's

oh really ?, ill go with the series one but wats wrong with the other ones? cheers

IMO The ratio's are too low for running under a 33" tire

ohk yer true thanks mate for all help really appreciate it, ive just been looking at some winches you might not know but do you know how much a 9000 pond premier winch costs if not dont worry bout it thanks

what? To low? I run 6.5's with 31" pedes and wish I had slightly lower.

Whats it like on the highway@110?

highway ..... simex ...?!?!
i always wondered , how does this tire react when lowering the pressure ?
let's say 500gr .
since they are usually mounted on bigger ( heavier ) rig .
i heard that they are pretty stiff for light weight like us .
any experiences ?

personally I'd run 6.5's with tyres that size as 32 simex' are a BIG 32' tyre
I had 32's with 6.5's and I think it was near spot on.
cheers andrew

yer really? how much are those gears compared to like rockcrawlers

At snake racing last time i looked they were about $100 different. But buy 6.5s through an import site. Superiour, locktup, trailgear if you want to import. I ran 6.5s on 31s and there awsome offroad. I then bought a set of 33s and they were set up just right. I never have to ride the clutch and it idles up almost everything. I mainly stick to rocks and hill climbs tho and it tops out with 31s in low5th at about 30kms. Not so good for the sand...

yer thaty sounds good when u put in 33's did u need to cut ya guards ?

hahaha i had SUA, RUF, 50mm lift rear on 33X14.5 boggers, yes alot of chop, but with that said NIK has a lwb lux axles and 35s and he only chopped a little bit under the head light to make them fit. Its all about how much lift you have and how much up travel you have.

haha sounds bloody nice mate !, im thinkin about putting on a spoa lift, cause i need a bit more height for the tyres and you sound you know a bit, im putting on my bros hilux shocks there pretty much brand new, there about 570mm long max out, and my shcoks are like 440mm maxed out would the hilux shocks benefit alot or not .

You dont need spoa to fit 32 simex's ive just finished a spua on 34 swampers, yes there was guard cutting involved though.

its not just to fir the simex's i need the height anyway mate

about 3300rpm there abouts, I don't have a working speedo so that's guessing 110km/hr

going off the gps mine does 3600-3650 rpm at 100k's with 31s??Dont know how much a 32 would drop it.This is with 6.5 gears
