sinda is running it in and around reefton, aimed at club trucks purity sure it was open to all combined clubs but cant remember for sure. there still working on it I think time will tell.

yes I'm keen to come along, there is a 4x4 competition in the area over Easter but there a heap of tracks over that way we can do on different days or times.
i might have to build a camp trailer as accommodation may be tricky if not in early.

Have to use diff ratios to achieve what u want

all ready have low diffs
yes high range 1:1 and useless for me. hence the question cheers.

there seams to be only lower range gears for low range. that I can find. is there any lower speed transfer gears for the high range? that any one knows about ? this is for the Nissan safari/patrol transfer box. tx12
