LT95 Crawler gears??

[cal415]

Gday All,
Ive been looking at options with my gearbox to get my low range down with my 37s, at the moment i am looking at going 4.11 diff ratios but i was hoping to find somewhere that does low range reduction gearing for LT95.

So far in my search i have found nothing, although i have heard that some FC101s came with a lower low range, but still no idea where to source one. Can anyone help?

Thanks!

I would go 4.11's with the LT95. It already has very low gearing and I found that the 4.11's were almost perfect when used with 35's. The 4.11's will also reduce the gearing in High Range which is handy for those drags off the traffic lights. :twisted:
I think 4.11's will be cheaper than reduction gears as well.

Yep 4.11s sounds like the go, but was considering the reduction gears as well as :)

A county on 37s drag racing at the lights hehehe funny stuff,, but atleast it sounds like a race car :)

If you want lower again fit aftermarket 4.7:1:eek:

Bill Larman has made a few underdrives using parts from old fairy overdrives and quadratrac transfer cases - just another option.

that would be nice, but how would i go about getting one? is Bill Larman the guy with the IIa SWB with huge flex? also had a 6x6 series?

Correct

I think it is Colin Orchard that is running 4.7's in his Series 3 hybrid with 38's. That seems to go ok but I have been out twice with him when he has destroyed crown wheels so I am guessing they are not as strong.

Use sals axles from a series both front and rear and run the 4.7 to 1 with the LT95 froma late rangie with the .996 to 1 high range and the 37's it should be a good match and nice and strong in the crown wheel area :D:D:D

Pretty sure he has standard Series 4.7s
The after market ones are better.

Correct, Mick hingerty ran them:D

Didnt maxi drive once make a 30% reduction in the low range gear set for the LT95 can anyone confirm this ????? as ive found a box which has this option suposedly :D:D:D

Gday All,
although i have heard that some FC101s came with a lower low range, but still no idea where to source one.

I thought all 101's had the same gearing just that they ran 5.7:1 diffs which made them lower geared.

Colin runs standard Series 4.7 diffs. If you want strength you need to find some 6x6 diffs, as they are 4.7 and stonger than the series 4.7's. I know Fred Smith has a few 6x6 front diffs.


Use sals axles from a series both front and rear and run the 4.7 to 1 with the LT95 froma late rangie with the .996 to 1 high range and the 37's it should be a good match and nice and strong in the crown wheel area

I thought that unless a hypoid was reverse cut that they were weaker than a spiral bevel diff when in reverse? Also with running a Salsbury in the front you might run into prop shaft angle problems.

I'm fairly sure I know of a box which had the reduction gearing in an LT95 which was for sale in Brisbane not too long back, if you're interested i can pm the details

The 4.7 Salisburys in the rear should be up to the load of the 35"+ tyres but I rather think the Rover 4.7:1 diffs in the front would fail. 36" tyres in the forward controls were the reason for the introduction of the ENV 4.7 and later the Salisbury 4.7:1

If you were going down the 4.7 path, I would be thinking of modifying a Salisbury rear axle assembly for front mounting and accept the Defender swivels then having Hi-Tough make up hybrid axles to mate. Even better would be the Perentie crownwheels.

Best of both worlds, low gearing and Salisbury strength.

Havent done it my self but here is proof that it can be done

Some where in my colection of LRO or L/R international magazines there is an artical about some Ser 3 produced with salisbury front axles and there was one here in East Ipswich It use to be parked daily near the railway station, I am pretty sure it was a factory produced veh. not altered If my menory is correct they were produced for Finland for use in heavy mud and snow

Well so far no luck on the reduction gear for the lower low every were i tryed today didnt know of any and have never heard of em only for the LT230 ive been told be a few verry reputable sources so maby this is the unicorn gear :D:D:D:D

[isuzurover]

Even better would be the Perentie crownwheels.

Diana

Not sure if I would call it "even better". Mal told me that cost $1900 EACH crownwheel and pinion (from LR), and then you are still stuck with a spiral bevel rover diff. It is a shame they didn't fit salisburies to the front of perentie 6x6s.
