Low Range Gears - FZJ-80

[ttubb]

You dont need the part time kit
But if you want to do the part time kit you might as well since you will have the tcase apart

Correcto! Either, or, or both, your call.

Oh man!! I'm all over those gears!
I should have a percentage of my pay direct deposited to Christo...

The delay in ordering gears is attributed to not knowing if the PT kit was necessary for molys.

A lot of opinions to sift through in determining, and conflicting info from those in the know, whose opinions I value.

The gears were a no brainer, as far as I'm concerned, since the TC is bulletproof and there's not an option to swap for an Atlas or other.

New newest Longfield Poly's are supposedly good for 60k miles in a DD, they changed the heat treat so that it would be a little more friendly in fulltime at the expense of a little ultimate strength. And they are rebuildable, seems like if you are 37's or larger it is a no brainer.

Have refrained from ordering the gears while determining the "need" for PT, against the recommendations here on Mud, that it's not enough of an improvement to warrant. Glad that there's feedback on viability.

Wish I were closer to a reputable shop and would go that route on the install.

Thanks for the input.

So where are you at?

So where are you at?

Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Since the PT kit doesn't appear to be a necessity for molys, and this in by no means a DD, will forgo PT and do the TC gears only. (As for thread relevancy. Regearing, moly axles, new Birfs and a whole host of other crap slated).

Hope I can swing the gears when they are still on sale, I like others need Longs and gears as well. Going to stay full time AWD and its my DD.

I'm in for the same. Wondering if a 25% off from Jambo will be allowed, combined.

One decision made, at least

That would be awesome but......."Discount Codes do not apply to products that are already on sale, unless noted otherwise. "

So are Slee's gears the same as Marlin's? I don't see anything on Slee's website about them and called them the other day but didn't get an answer and have not had a chance to call back.

Slee gets the gears from Marlin.
Marlin shipping rates are super low.

 

[kbahus]

Thanks for clarifying that, I was confused.

I'd say and a 1/2. It's a good idea to replace the front/rear output seals and bearing/races and the transmission rear output seal as well. The front output shaft seal + bearing can be somewhat of a pain. The Harbor Freight small trans jack is a big help for dropping the Tcase in a safe manner. It's a heavy bugger.

Not necessary to remove transfercase for the installation of the gears or PT kit, just say'n
