Source for 4.3:1 gearset??

[mudgudgeon]

Hi y'all

I'm looking for a set of 4.3:1 diff gears to sit FZJ80 rear diff.
So far no dice.

Anyone know of a source for quality gearsets in this ratio?

I have an OEM e-locked front diff centre that I had built with 4.3:1 gears and solid surface for a 105 series that I'd like to use in my 80, I also have an OEM e-locked rear diff centre that needs a rebuild and re-gear.
A little lower gearing would be nice, but I'd prefer to buy one gearset than two.

I personally have never seen 4:30 gears. I know there are 4:56, 4:88, 5:29

Some 100 series and 200 series were 4.3 from the factory. You would have to use the whole carrier though I believe from one of those and swap out the side gears.

4.3:1 gears were standard in 105 series cruisers. Unfortunately the crown and pinion aren't interchangeable from 105 to 80 series rear diff

Did you check Mark's 4wd? They have probably the most ratios. If they dont have it then its probably not available

Not yet. Was thinking they're a good option to do the rebuild though

Hmmmm, not sure if there was a factory 4.3:1 gearset for the 80 series centre

@Onur do you know if there was a factory option?

Hit up @cruiseroutfit and see if there are any options--but to my knowledge, the 100 series is when the 4.30's came in a 9.5" diff....which will use a different carrier than your 80 series E-locker.

4.30 take-out gears are easy to come by for 100's, if there is some way to make them work....I have a set on my shelf right now, as a matter of fact.
