Gear and Pinion?

[Swordy]

I believe the 4.77 12 bolt ring and pinions are still available from dealers, as thats where I purchased mine. (or at least one of my sets)

All second gen 4x4 Amigo's with the 2 liter engine had 4.77 gears. The rears were Dana 44, so that is out. The fronts axles were all ten bolt, BUT there was only a six month period when they used the Corporate ten bolt. (Wich is what you need.) The rest were Dana 10 bolts which are slightly different.

I don't remember off the top of my head which six month period that was, but I'm sure I posted it here before. I found all the information I needed online, so I'm sure you can too. I'll look through my stuff again to try to find it for you. You might try PlanetIsuzu.com too. They have a wealth of information onAmigo's and troopers, as does the International trooper Owners Guild.

Anyway, take this ifo you have, go to Car-part.com type in what you are looking for and you'll start to see just how freaking easy it is going to be to come across these things. Some have the vin numbers listed. Some you'll have to call about. Don't think that they will take one apart to look at the gear make for you. Know what you are looking for. VIN ID might be possible too.


From another angle, There's a decent chance the OAL of the Dana axle housing is the same and would bolt right up. that would require some other manuals, and/or scrounging around a junk yard though.

Happy Hunting

P.S. JFI
If you ask for just the ring and pinion, its likely they will say they don't have it. You usually have to buy the whole axel assy. You can ask them to only ship you the third member, but then you wouldn't have the two spare CV's.

When you need new CV boots get the ones from Independant 4x4, They REALLY ARE superior, and not much different in price. I leave the small end slightly loose using only a Small zip-tie so it can slide a little bit, but still keep water out and grease in. High angles tear the other kind up.

The rare troppers you are looking for are either the RS troopers, or troopers that came with the offroad package.

The code on the build plate should be an S2J I believe. The RS troopers are two doors like the VX, but were only around in 89 and 93, with a handful in 94 and 95. I believe the RS troopers are just about, or rarer than a VX, so good luck.

[Swordy]

The Amigo's Are S2J as well. but only some of the S2J's Gears will work, and if thats not tricky enough, I think the carrier designs were a little different too. So I had to use Those gears in My Vx carrier.

Yeah the offroad package had honeycomb wheels, and wider tires, hence the need for the 4.77's. Member "Wisdom" should be able to help locate some more if they are out there, he found mine for me about a year ago:
