Lower Gearing in Transfer Case

Postby GreenRodeo » Thu Aug 06, 2009 4:41 pm

Came upon this:

https://www.independent4x.com/merchantm ... cts_id=232

Has anyone here used them?

Not sure if that kit suits my Rodeo (pick-up) transfer case.

Any comments or advice welcomed.

I have used them personaly but ALOT of the Vehicross people on the Vehicross Forum i go on have and all ive heard is good stuff
I think the guy that owns it or something is named Matt.

I still might get some of the StainlessSteel braided brake lines from them, But first have a talk to some brake places here

Very tight rules on braded brake hoses. I belive they have to have an expiry date which is enforced at wof time because you cant inspect the rubber. Check with your favorite mechanic before buying

braded brake hoses never expire as they dont have any rubber compoents. if they are proper good quilty hoes they will be teflon inner with stainless brading.

Just had a search on ltsa and lvta and couldnt find anything. I know that nz4wd had problems with braided hoses on the rangerover they built. Your local mechanic should know this answer
