fixed it for you

.... and they want 360 euros -> 445 usd, and that's not even including shipping.  If that is the case, then Boondox is getting a decent deal for placing a bulk order.

Any info on the source/quality of these gears?

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 would think they would be as good as any OEM type R&P.

I know Boondox stands behind their products but this is kind of a favor to us more than anything else. I think it is unrealistic to have them warranty a product they wont even make profit on. The supplier has stated that they are top quality R&P gears otherwise they wouldn't sell them. Both the supplier and Boondox know that if this venture goes well that it could be repeated. Boondox has also said that in the event of a broken R&P due to manufacture defect they will do their best to negotiate a replacement with the supplier for us.

I would think that R&Ps for racing or off-road use are a difficult thing to warranty anyway. Someone could stick a set under a Tracker with a SBC in it and 38" Boggers and then claim it exploded in their stocker while rolling down the driveway.  ::)

I am just glad they are willing to do this for us. It doesn't look like anyone else is in a big hurry to supply them here.

It's is imposable to warantee a ring and pinion if
it's not setup right by a shop, and even then.

38" Boggers, come on, you know the axles are
the weak link, you aren't going to nuke a gear set
by putting power thru it, it's the axles that go first.

This thread needed a bump......

Boondox still needs 8 more to agree to this before they order. The Zukimelt is coming fast. Come on guys I want to see some 5.83s back in this country.  :)

Besides I'm looking at some 35s and my 5.12s keep saying no way.  :o

Make sure you fill out the form on Boondox's site. That is how they know they have enough interest to fill the order.  ;)
