is there any one out there that knows of any one that can do the machining and welding of the gear needed for a rock hopper transfer case?i have just picked up a 413 transfer case so im going with a rockhopper 4.16 thanks

Or you could sell your current transfer case as they are quite desirable (I'm looking for one) and buy some transfer gears from the US. This would give you a greater range of gearing options to choose from depending on what size your tyres are. if i do that that means owl have to buy another ...

a rock lobster or 4.16 gear ser is made from cutting and welding half 413,half 410 counter gear together. and then mix and match some gears . . machining of the hardened gear is expensive ,due to cutting head use . But you have the hard part find , the 84 410 transfercase, so probably a bit cheaper ...

hay there just curious on my options for getting lower gearing for my sj410 im running tractor grips and by jesus they can get some placed but unfortunately i tgot stuck in a real clay bog hole and got totally bogged cause the truck couldn't turn the tyres?i have the model with the front disk brakes ...
