Who bought the Rockhopper Gears?

I remember a while back when EOE was doing the group pricing on Rockhoper 3.658:1 gears they had 6 or 7 Xterra owners signed up.

So who bought them? Anyone we know?

I can check with Todd A as he was taking the names down, my set was at the place Rockhopper uses to specially harden the gears and was due to ship once Liam got them back. Then I will install them and make sure there are no problems(fit) with the US versions of the transfer cases, after that we can all have some serious crawling power.

Unless you don't have the $1000 for the gears. YIKES. :(

Think about what you spent on lights, the ARB, a CO2 tank, roof rack, etc...all of these will not improve your off road capability like crawler gears will.

So here is a question.

Which one? Rear ARB locker, or RockHopper gears?

Yes, I know people would like both, but I'm starting to think I might want the lower gearing before a locker.

Oh, and where did you see them for $1000?

That's why I'm going to sell all that stuff.

Can I ask a dumb question ?

Why does Rockhopper want $1500 for 2 gears ?

A brand new Tera Low transfer case (the whole thing) can be had for less than that.
