Did that get ya attention ??

Been thinkin about fittin 35"s to my 06 ute. This is what I figure its gunna cost me to fit.

Do you think it's worth it ? :wink: :wink: :wink:

[Winnie]

Nope. Not for that price!

[megatexture]

Why so much ?

[DX grunt]

Is that for the 4 corners and a spare or two or three?

Hope they're throwing in the taxi fare for you to pick it up when they're finished.

I'd expect a return flight airticket for that..... In business class

[Gary Vansleve]

Why so much ?

Well ok here goes.

Figure I need 4.6 gear set. Then seeing that I am going to pull the centres I thought may as well fit lockers. Then will need to buy correct offset rims and tyres. Seeing that lockers and gear set will be fitted need to find someone with the expertise to set the centres up so factor in some labour costs. Last but not least will need a quality air compressor.

Why the compressor you ask. Well to fit a 35 where I want I will need to air down the tyre so it fits in the space allocated.

Is it worth it seems pure indulgence on my part.

NB the ute is being set up as a tough tourer towin a 2 tonne offroad van.

If you have 4.1 or 4.3 diff gears I'll take them off you if you like. You don't need 4.6 gears better off with transfer case reduction gears. As for lockers you only need a front one really.

I had 35's on a TD42 with 4.6 centres on a prev rig and if you are going to tow 2,000 KG's with the 35's on then you will def want 4.6 diffs

Agree with macca in that I would only lock the front and reshim the LSD if needed.

I have onboard air with a reasonable sized tank on my current ute and it is really handy with the 35's

Yep I agree. The ute puts out 110 killowats at the rear at the moment. Recently had a practice run towin the van with some 35's on went ok but i felt that the 4.6 would be the go . I have 4.1 diffs at the moment.

Drove with the splits on a while ago and the ute felt it would tear the bitumen up. So that's why I would like the 4.6 gear set.

If I don't go for the 35's I reckon a front locker and shimmed lsd rear would be the go and of course a lot cheaper.

High range 1st gear is too tall, add pulling a van even at 2 tonne with need to slip the clutch to get moving.

Mine is on 33's and that is hassle enough getting moving on a uphill start. 35's will be worse. The transfer case reductions are great but only in low range half of the box, so no help on the highway.

I have no issues pulling away in second with 33's and 4.11 diffs...
Uphill it's a first gear but easy pull away.

If your doing it and prepared to pay do it once and do it right.

4.6 diffs and 35's get you pretty close to the stock ratios. So if towing the van is say is a must.

In regards to lockers I'd just do the front and some chrome molly cv's and leave the rear an lsd.

I'm guessing your already running a 4' lift?

Also definitely get a good compressor...
A nice tank will take a bit of load off the compressor but is just another thing to add..

[Winnie]

Aren't ARB doing a free high output compressor if you buy two lockers at the moment?

Agree I have no trouble movin the van from a start with the splits but with the 33's I have on at the moment I would be thinkin a big hill start with the van hooked up would be a hassle for the clutch.

When I had the 35's on towin the van lucky I didn't come across any big inclines for a hill start.

Everywhere.
Off road I usually go low range anyway but mount Gambier ain't flat. I have no issues.
