Actnjacksn 10-30-2001, 05:43 PM Where is the best place to find gears for the stock cruiser axles? Best quality and price, i know those dont go together but i was hoping i might get lucky. Thanks, Sean <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> DCruiser138 10-30-2001, 07:20 PM sean@river city diferential..as if you didnt know allready. 60seriesguy 10-30-2001, 11:11 PM I've heard that *ALL* aftermarket Land Cruiser axles come from the same place, a manufacturer in Italy, so you may want to think about shopping based on price and service. Land Crusher 10-31-2001, 05:24 AM I asume that you meant all gears not all axels, well eather way you are mistaken I did some research after randys ring and pinion told me the same thing. what is true is that the pig iron blanks used to machine the gears is from a foundry in eather italy or africa. but ther are a bunch of shops that machine the gears. I recomend precishion gears. also ther is a lot of shops that repackage the gears and sell them under ther own name randys ring and pinion sells a set that is my opionion a infurior product. I recomend 4wpwh but you dont here of any one saying any thing bad about river city dif. gunracer1 10-31-2001, 08:27 AM my 5.29s came from west coast diff. and the box was marked seirra gear but the inspector was from italy. so the story is more than likly true. mike gunracer1 10-31-2001, 08:28 AM o the gears were 195.000 a set, i thought that was cheap enough. mike Actnjacksn 10-31-2001, 08:47 AM Gunracer1, do you have a website or some way of getting ahold of them at West Coast Diff? Oh yeah does anyone know precision gears web site? Thanks 40_Bones 10-31-2001, 08:54 AM The cheapest place I have found is Downey off-road. Their gear sets are right at about $150.00. I don't know who makes them, but Downey is a very reputable company. Actnjacksn 11-01-2001, 10:30 AM thanks for the Downey hint, are 5.13's common or are they hard to find? Sean LC Hamma 11-01-2001, 01:44 PM thanks for the Downey hint, are 5.13's common or are they hard to find? 5.29 would be the ratio for LC axles. I've had good luck w/Reider Racing www.reiderracing.com (http://www.reiderracing.com) .I bought some 4.88 Precision gears for $225 & install kit for 180. (800) 357-1330. If you're looking for stock 4.10's, I would buy a good used 3rd member w/the gears already set up. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> gunracer1 11-01-2001, 03:05 PM i just did a search on a search and got there website. they don't have any prices on it, you have to call them. you need to grind the rear ring gear pretty good [with the 5.29s]to get the pin to slide in. mine has held up so far but i have a stock 3f. but still turning 38s. later mike Actnjacksn 11-01-2001, 09:09 PM Thanks for the help fellas.
