Get them from the states.
Trail Tough have excellent service or Calmini, I have not bought anything from Calmini but the replies to my queries have always been fast and polite.
Don't forget to ask about the freight price and make sure it is marked Made In The USA to avoid GST. My stuff was on my doorstep in 5 days, it would be faster for you because mine sat in the depot north of Bris waiting to be delivered for 2 days.
Anyone can fit them for you here.

I wasnt telling you they were overpriced spud, i had not looked at all into getting gearing, the only prices i saw were from american sites for 520AUD plus an assumed 100 for shipping, i was asking a valid question.

4.9's $529
At that price it's almost worth importing a set and fitting them yourself.

$529US = approx $705AUD + freight
They are still only a 4.9 reduction. The greater the reduction the greater the cost (usually)

4.9's should be fine for a 31 or 32 though?
I see what you are trying to say regarding supporting aussie businesses and totally agree with you.

i run 6.5's in my case and can drive up a vertical brick wall in third gear. i was going to buy cheaper gears but am happy to pay the little extra, dont abuse hard, only buy once. the extra control i gained is impressive when it comes to driving up and down the steep stuff.

Sorry, new web site currently being updated. The Gears are RRP $1250.00. We have fitted a few already. Might I add that there all Aussie made and not American like most are now days!
