Crawler gears in 70series

[dawwen]

Where abouts am i best to get crawler gears for my 70 series cruiser.
What sort of price am i looking at??
Wanting to run 35s with standard 3f motor.
Acheivable?? standard or are the gears required.
Cheers for the help

Marks adaptors in Aus make reduction transfer gears www.marks4wd.com
I think there about $2.5k ish

You could try the 35's and see how your 3F handles it and decide then if you need to change the gearing or not?

there was a guy on tm selling a set a little while ago .i dont think they sold and every now and then he relists them.from memory he wanted 1500 for them

hi there
dont go through the agent for marks in ch-ch he is useless
i have been waiting for over 6 months and i have phoned every month and he still fails to give me a price for crawler gears
i even sent my brother that lives in ch-ch with the info for my cruiser and he could not give him a price and he said he would ring him as well plus i even worked out what ones i wanted gave hin the part number
i suggest you go straight to marks in aussie
cheers Brent

H20lva fitted some of these around xmas time. PM him.
A std 3f with 4.1 diffs will turn 35's with no worries at all though. (will use more gas and the speedo will be out).
But if you are worried about it why not look at new R&P sets that lower final drive ratio?

As Rok says i fitted some up. I got the high and low reduction gears from 4WD Upgrades here in Ch Ch and i have to say that Mike was really good to deal with. He didn't have the set i needed but got them in from Aussie within 2 days for me. Cost was $2300 incl GST but as mentioned there is a set that pops up on TradeMe every so often. Can't say they made a lot of difference on the road but they are awesome in low range . I've got the 3B diesel in mine running 35s (probably more like 34s ) so need as much help as i can get. In saying that i can do the speed limit on the open road (just takes 30 minutes to get there )

Another option could be to change the diff ratios. my 13bt 70 series ( may be abit more power) runs 35's and 36's happly cause its got 5.29 diffs in it. you shoud be able to pick them up a bit cheaper that $2500 i think they come from toyota dyna trucks. only thing is im not sure if thy will fit the standard 70 series housings i have 60 series under mine.

60 and 70 housings take the same diff head UNLESS you have a late model 70 with the little diff in the front

those crawler gears have been sold off trade me a mate has bought them they work good too

new ring and pinions is the cheepest option, I was quotes $260 + gst for r&p + need new bearing kit etc from the diff shop in CHCH

[crizpy]

could someone please explain the new ring and pinion sets in a bit more detail? I have also thought of redustion gears ,I have 35's and 13bt.
how much lower will ring and pinion sets lower final drive? and what go i ask for/who to call if i want to go further ..
cheers
