delivery costs could decide that, I'm sure a whole case could cost more than a few gears

[haurp00ned]

okay i have a question may sound dumb but why do they cost so much they are around $800au for a few gears?..

They are very good gears, afaik there is an unconditional lifetime warranty on them, from what I've read if you manage to break them you send them back and they will send you new ones.

Also postage to oz was/is $60 for the gears (you can fit a bit more in the box too, send them an email) don't just order it from their website, they will explain it all via email.

Just looking the 5.14s are $630 US which is around $605 AUD.

Even if you do order through the website, they refund you the money anyway.

yeah, i am kinda knew to all this if you cant tell already haha. so by my understanding with these reduction gears. im running 31's on my sierra and atm im pushing to get 80km's outta it, and if i put the reduction gears in i would be able to get higher speeds outta it? and have a better low range and would be better off road? yeah?

Im no expert compared to some of the other guys on here, but if your pushing it to get to 80kms you have other problems. My 1.3 doesnt have that bad of a time getting too 100kph with my 31s and stock gears.

Id be looking at that problem first before gears if i was you

[haurp00ned]

yeah true, well yeah im pushing to get it to 80km's and thats in 4th gear if i put it into 5th i cant get anymore outta it then 65km's. where do you think i should start looking?

[SierraDan]

You need gearing.

[haurp00ned]

so what just the 5.14 reduction gears?

Mine used to do that and I just reconditioned the Carby. Worked a treat, could do 100kms on a flat stretch of road then. Took about 3kms to get there though...

What terrain do you drive?

[haurp00ned]

well i have only recently got it and just bee doing little things to it lately havent really had any time but i have spare time to do stuff now. i havent as yet taken it off road just drove it on road and highways to and from work basically. im planing on going wheeling in it tomorrow too see how it goes

[SierraDan]

Okay what do you plan to drive?
Rock? Mud? Sand?
Mostly daily driven?

Still not being able to reach 80kph with stock gears and 31s is pretty bad though right?

Nah. I couldnt only manage over 70-80 downhill. Gears fixes all.

Really? At the moment i got no problems getting too 100kph, just takes a minute or two?

[haurp00ned]

rock mud and sand all off the above, i plan on going up the beach and to glasshouse mountains and land cruiser park every now and then and also drive it as a daily

[SierraDan]

4.9's or 5.14's.

[haurp00ned]

i was going to go with the 5.14's. but is there anything else that you would recommend me doing or getting before hand?

[SierraDan]

strengthening the long mount on the transfer.
