Looking for gear sets

[Stroker]

Hey I'm looking for front and rear 529 gear sets for my 75 fj40. Also ARB lockers front and rear. Does anybody have a favorite parts house they like? Thanks,

Try Cruiser Outfitters..

Also, the lowest gearset you can get for a Cruiser is 5.29, and you need to go with a Full Floater in the rear to run them...

Thanks, your right.

Does the gear sets come with any kind of install kit or by itself?

The gearsets are sold individually, meaning you need two of them per vehicle. Each set includes one ring and pinion. Also included is an installation manual. You need to purchase the install kits seperately, likewise you will need two of them (one per axle)

I don't think you need a full floater in the rear to run 5.29's I run them with a non FF rear end and a locker without problem. I do have a stock 2F and stock t-cast though and I don't do a lot of rockcrawling, but I'm moving to SLC in June on July so if I start breaking my next upgrade will be to unimogs. Some places don't sell 5.29's because the center pin is hard to get in due to the thickness of the ring gear, but any good shop should be able to do some grinding on one tooth and slip it in, and if your going to replace the carrier it doesn't matter anyway.

What?


Having installed a 5:29 gear sets in an ARB, there are mods that need to be done to the opening for the semi-flot version of the locker to get the pieces past the ring gear, not just the cross pin.


Good luck!

The experience I have is with the detroits, not ARB so I guess there is more to the arb setup with the thicker ring gear. What else do you need to do with the arb. is the carrier to large to fit inside the ring gear or does it have something to do with the routing of the air line? I have never put an ARB together, but from looking at them I thought that they would be assembled before you bolted the carrier to the ring gear?
