Has anyone got any experience of buying a complete case from the states.

4.16 SJ Transfer Case

Would this install with the normal installation kit available through ORA?

It is the correct case, and fine with the ORA kit, but why buy this from the states?
It is simply cheaper to buy one from someone like Rockwatt on this forum or wait until someone offers one for sale.
The only thing worth buying from the states is gearsets for the 6.1 ratios. ORA also supply the same kit here in the UK and can offer the case fully built if you don't fancy building it yourself.

I tried mine out today with a lockright and WOW I'm impressed !! :-)

im just waiting upon my mounting kit from rockwatt so i can get my 5.1 mounted

cant wait...........so much so i ordered some 235/85/16 special tracks to suit the gearing better than the 30" saharas i have at the moment (landy sizing so cheaper to buy than 15's)

roll on the mounting kit then i can offroad with control and slowly rather than needing a run up or risk bogging down ha

:woohoo: get in!!!!!

Rob Storr exports his 4:1/5:1/6:1 and 8:1 gearsets to the states, why re-import them?

Yes 5:1 should be perfect for 235/85/16's, as I mentioned earlier my 6:1 is a little too low geared for road use with 750/16's which are the same diameter, just narrower.

Point! I did hear something about him supplying to the states.

I keep thinking if to get a 6:1 gearset for my spare 413 box, but then I would need bigger tyres. :silly: maybe next year.
