​This three part article covers my building of a RockLobster 6.5:1 transfer box. The article parts are:

• Part 1 - Dis-assembly (see HERE)
• Part 2 - Building the gears (this part)
• Part 3 - Re-assembly. (see HERE)

The kit I am using (Trail Gear) contains gears and parts to replace/add to an SJ Transfer box. Within an SJ transfer box are effectively three gearsets/shafts as follows:

• Input shaft - The Trail Gear set contains a replacement shaft to which you add either the original bearings or new bearings as you prefer,

• Counter shaft - The Trail Gear set contains a replacement shaft and gearset to drop in,
• Output shaft - The Trail Gear set contains replacement gears for the original gears, you either re-use the original bearings or new bearings as you prefer.

​Very shortly after we drove away from the 2019 BigJimny meet, I heard a very loud bang from somewhere underneath BigJimny. I pulled over and could not see anything, the Jimny still had drive but was giving out a knocking noise.

I suspected the CV joints as they have been clicking for a long time, however I found that the noise was coming from the rear diff (see video below, you can hear the knocking noise if you ignore the disc scraping noise)
