I would ask the seller how he joined the gears together. Don't get me wrong, he could have access to the right equipment and skills and it could be a good job, however some people in the past have thought they could just weld everything together with inevitable results.
Ask him how it was done and see if he answers with a nice technical explanantion, run away if he just says he "cut them and welded them , mate"

The answer to that depends on where you started from!
First of all the advert is aimed at SJ owners not Jimny owners so he is referring to people who either have an SJ413 or SJ410 as a starting point.
A Rocklobster has an SJ410 High Ratio and a Modified Low Ratio.
Therefore if you have an SJ410 then this conversion does not affect High Ratio and gives you a nice low Ratio.
An SJ413 normally has a higher High Ratio than an SJ410. Therefore fitting a Rocklobster to an SJ413 lowers BOTH the High and Low Ratios. It drops the High Ratio from SJ413 standard to SJ410 Standard and provides the nice low ratio.
The Ebayer should know this if he is technical so it might be worth asking him this as a "tester"
For us Jimny owners it provides a lowered High and a lowered Low Ratio.
