Who wants 5.83:1 gears?
« on: April 12, 2006, 09:49:46 AM »
Boondox is willing to order in a bunch of the 5.83:1, 12 bolt rears if they know you guys will buy them. They can get them from an overseas supplier.  The 10 bolt fronts are still available from vendors here  and therefore they are only getting the rears. They are not cheap at 350.00 but they will be selling them for about the same price they pay to get them here. If you are interested please fill out the form they have on the site. It is up to us if they place the order or not. They need 20 of us or more to say "yes". I'm in for a set. It is up to you now.

Hey Shredder, can you tell me what tires I could run with those and have the same or slightly lower than stock gearing?  Thanks! :D

Front gears are still available through Calmini & Hawk Suzuki for 289.00. Other vendors might have them. Boondox is working on those too but right now the rears are the hard (read impossable) to get ones.

5.83:1 Gears with 31" tires will be about the same RPM to wheel speed as the 5.125 gears are with 27" tires (205/75R15). For instance a stock TracKick with a 5 speed and 5.125:1 gears does 78 MPH |removethispart|@ 4000 RPM with stock 27" tires. The same vehicle with 5.83:1 gears and 31" tires will do 79MPH |removethispart|@ 4000 RPM. So essentially 5.83:1 gears make up the difference of 31" tires.

Now if you had an auto with the 4.30 gears then they would adjust for the diameter change that 35s would make. Hmmm? Maybe I should run an auto in mine.

I do not know the name of the company that manufactures them. I do know that they are europeon  and are the same parts used by Suzuki's that compete over there in the National Off-Road Championship. Boondox has been assured that they are built to OEM type standards. I also know that the distributor wanted 360 € (EURO) for them which is like $440 plus alot more to ship them over here. By buying a few thousand dollars worth Boondox can get them down to the $350 they are selling them for. I don't think they will make anything on these. I think it is just to get some over here to the guys that keep asking about them.

That is sweet, it is nice to see more aftermarket support.  I hope they become available in a few years when my Tracker starts growing some more.  They even have some GV products   ;D

There site is comming along nice and has soom good tech info too.  I had some problems viewing the text (it was overlapping).  If you run a high screen resolution, you may need to change the font size to get everything to show up right.

BUMP - I asked today about the 5:83s and was told that not very many of us are responding yet.  ??? I thought more of us wanted to get our hands on these. Maybe I should tip off the other forums to them also. My Tracker wants a set bad.

Shredder,  I just signed up for two sets , one for right now and one for a bad / sad rainy day. I broke the rear pinion and driver side axle on the Calmini V6 Vit Extreme Project Rig and it has been on jack stands all winter. I was getting ready to do a 5.62:1 swap front and rear or weld in a ford 9 with 5.83:1.  I'll hold off for a while and see if the Euro gears materialize.  I don't mind driving my Sam but the White Vit is better sex !!!

If we can get them, it will save me a lot of money and labor.....     Gary

Great. The list is growing. They said as soon as 20 people promise to buy they will take the deposit and order.  ;) This makes me and my Tracker happy too. We both look forward to the lower gears.  8)
