GREAT NEWS!!!!!!!!
I found that mountain sport site...and talked to Reynir Jossen he has sets of 5,38:1 R&P gears for the Isuzu 10 bolt in stock for $285.00 and $60.00 shipping. The only thing now is does anybody know FOR SURE that the Trooper 10 bolt is the same and the Rodeo 10 bolt?......GOT TO BE DEAD SURE! now the only bad thing is the deal with TERA, I would love to support a deal here in the U.S. but since this posting not alot of support has been shown by others. I know its the holiday's and all so i'm taking that into consideration for the lack of response. AXES1 ]

AXES1,

Peter is running this gear set(Icelandic), and I have looked into these at one time. I believe Jesse Stevens may have attempted this gear set as well. At the time I was looking into it, Mt. Sports was very hard to get a hold of and shipping time frames from Iceland were way out.

I say support Tera which is local and is a known reputable company. I also feel the 5:13 gears are much more in line with our needs 33"-35" tires. I think there was a survey here at one time with an overwhelming number of people voting for 5:10s as the preferred gearing for the afformentioned tires with 4:88's being close second. Also, you have to remember the lower you go(higher numerically)the weaker(smaller) your gears get, so I wont go any lower than you need to with the ring and pinion. My suggestion would be to hit Tera up on a real group buy which would be an "Off Road Package" which would include Tera Lows and 5;13 gears for something like $800
