New GBR 4.75 gears in!! - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

FrankenRover · 03-22-2002, 05:53 PM

For those interested, Bill at GBR just got in his shipment of 4.75 gears. He is sending them off to have them "treated" (which I will let him explain).

He had some rushed out to be treated and sent to me directly. And let me tell you, these things look sweet! Not sure if they will perform any better, but they almost look like polished stainless steel now. They are smooth all over (shut up Merv), and have none of the sharp edges that stock gears have.

Alan Dobbs (thanks Alan!!) and I will be putting them in the 90's 3rd members next weekend, so I should be up and running with the 90 before we head out for a Bill Burke camping trip to Hole in the Rocks Utah.

see ya,

Blister

btw, If you see picts of the Blister 90 with a roofrack on it, don't fret. I am still a extreme rockcrawler at heart. Just have to include the whole family sometimes.

Are those the revers cut's for the front? Better late than never eh?

You bet they are buddy. How are things up in Santa Fe? Hope all is well with you and yours!

Do these gears have the same tooth count or are they a different tooth count than before for more strenght?

Blister,
My CD is on the way tonight.. sorry for the delay. Moving the gf in has been keeping me just a bit busy.

Oh yeah, and I'm getting the GBR treated 4.11 gears so I should be good to go as well.

Movin the GF should keep you busy or it's not worth your while moving the gf in :-)

Way to go John!

D'OH!!

Well, at least if you moved in with her, you can use the "I need some of my own space" argument to either get a shop or go to the shop to work on the rovers!

We have a deal going: Once we get the stuff unpacked in the house, I get as much time as I need in the garage to work on the trucks. Especially since one of those is HER D90! I just have to make sure that the projects on mine get done too!

Got the video. Good stuff! I haven't watched the whole thing yet, but I'm working on it.

John,
Could I get you some cash & get a copy of that CD, as well --- I'm assuming this is the CD with the CC pics?
