Reductions Gears

Post by thompson_2986 »

I'm looking for reduction gears to bring back the crawl with the bigger tyres on my 93 sierra but iv struggled with the local 4wd centre as their suppliers can’t get them.

so looking for as many shops in vic as possible that sell Rockhoppers 6.5:1 or any other band close to those ratios.

I have called Marks 4wd Adaptors and they told me that their Gearmaster gears are extremely loud and not for everyday driving.

Any help will be appreciated

Cheers
Tom

Look at the cost of importing the gears, it is usually pretty comparable to buying local. There are a few threads in here regarding importing from the states. The details and suppliers are in them. Limiting yourself to Vic could hinder you getting the ratio you want at the price you want.

with sierra gearing look at the percentage of how much they change high range also another where the gears are made, there's a write up somewhere on the web

from what i can remember trailtough gears are made by the same blocks who make the sierras stock gears in japan

With the Aussie dollar the way it is, get a set of 6.5s off Low Range Offroad. With their no questions asked warranty, they are awesome.l

OK so Lowrangeoffroad looks like it’s a goer. With the dollar atm it comes to about $150 cheaper than Locktup and that includes shipping.

Strengthening the Tcase is a must and I’m not sure whether to get the Bomb Proof T-Case Mount Kit from Locktup or a rocktoy ring or both??

Someone is selling a ZOR cradle, which I was going to get instead of a mighty kong, but the kong was cheaper to ship... It is in the for sale section now. I would get that if I were you.
