Rock hopper gears

[Kgee]

Hi all

My 2000TD5 auto, CDL fitted, lifted 50mm with ironman foam shocks and springs and fitted with 245x75x16 Pirelli aT's needs a bit of help with low range gearing. I live in Newman WA and the countryside around here can be quite steep with a loose rocky surfaces. I am looking at fitting a set of Muddies which I know will help but I need lower gearing.
My question is does anyone know if you can buy a replacement set of gears for the transfer case such as offered by Rock Hopper for other vehicles.

Thanks

I'm pretty sure M.R. Automotive do them now.

Reply from M R Autos which I will follow up.

We can offer a 30% or a 49% reduction.(ie 30 or 49 % lower than your existing low range)
Only low range is affected.
We can do this two ways.
You send us you transfer case & we suitably modify it.(or give us the vehicle.)
You (or someonelse ) dismantle the transfer case & send us the intermediate gear for modification.
If those options are not suitable we can supply a new gear set & you can fit but this requires us to supply a new intermediate gear,
Prices are as follows.

30 % $1700 (modify your intermediate gear)
49% $1900 (modify your gear)
plus approx $480 for us to supply a new intermediate gear
For us to remove the transfer case from the car & fit rockcrawler gears 30% approx $2800 , 49% $3000 .
This would also include modifying the transfer case to overcome the intermediate shaft oil leak that they all develop.
