I just installed my 6.5 gears into a samurai t-case, and I hope to get the thing under the Jim in a few days. From my experience with SJ's and Samurai's, 6.5 is the way to go with 33's, and the lobster is only good for smaller than 31's...

Gotta love how you have crossed the rock lobster off of your mods list! That really cracked me up! :laugh: :laugh:

I've got to say for those wanting a quick fix, 33's with the 410 box have been really good. So I'm really looking forward to a proper box now! lol

Supergaz/Reaper - Yeah I've seen Rockwatt today and I just need to think about what ratio I want, its the same cost for 5: or 6:. If i keep the axles standard then the extra torque in those difficult situations could be the std CV's undoing! BUT if I upgrade the axles then ill bang the 6: in!

I can now do the 6.5:1 gear sets to drop in a 413 box if anyone is interested,

Look to be around Â£500 per set, less if more than one is bought

think you'd be fine with the std axles and CVs with a 6.1 in as you would have more control at low speeds so less likely to spin the wheels and then them getting sudden traction which is what breaks half shafts and CVs so save money and go straight for the 6.1

yes it's a strait swop as the 6.1 and 6.3's replace all the gears and doesn't use any of the 410 or 413 gears unlike the 4.9 and 4.16 sets use some of the original gears.
