I'm just surprised nothing was said or even slightly hinted to you or the 4x4 world that they were even thinking of doing this change.

What's even more surprising, is that when I spoke with Mark over a month ago originally, we were talking about 3.15 gears thw whole time. Then some Elliot fellow has emailed me recently telling me that it's been changed to 2.7. Weird! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" />


Somewhere I am guessing someone down in OZ talked Mark into making the change so they can be installed in the manual trannies and so they would be more conducive to overlanding instead of rock crawling. I have a feeling our opinion really does not matter. While I wish the ratio would have stay at 3.15, the 2.7 gear ratio will be adequate for the type of offroading I enjoy doing which is overlanding. But the price really needs to be in the $700-900 range like other crawler gears. At $1400 they are way over priced.

I am not really looking to tackle the Rubicon. Because of the slip yoke design these t-cases really are not designed for rock crawling. If you plan to rock crawl you would be better off going with an atlas or an NVG241.
