477's Frnt/Rear for sale

[SPAZZ]

Isuzu .com..I am wondering how would sell parts on there

would you be so kind as to go on there and then come back and explain to me how I would do so. Thanks, Billy. That's what I thought too

[Triathlete]

oops...that should have been planetisuzu.com!

What, you can't hack the web site and put your own for sale ad up? You'll really get some spammers then.

Woohoo!! The 4.77's are mine! SPAZZ and I are going to install them in my VX this weekend at his house. We might even lift it 2" at the same time if I pick up some OME 912's Friday! This is shaping up to be an expensive month for me...

Who's up for another set???? :


Come on...I know more than ONE of you is interested in these!!!!
There are only a few thousand of these ever made serious
between the years of 1988 to 2003...that is why they are so RARE!!!!!!!!!!!
Probably worth a whole lot more than $1,000 for just the Ring/Pinions ...much less complete 3rd members ready to bolt up.


Every time I attempt to track down a set and spend weeks doing so online, and ripping my hair out over pointless phone phone conversations with junkyards calling me an idiot for thinking that Isuzu ever made any other gear ratio than 456..It makes it all worth while when I actually do find a set.

After all I go through trying to find these...it even makes me jump for joy when the junkyards find in their computers the different Isuzu gear ratios such as, 373,410,430,455( round up to 456 ) 477 and aftermarket 538's.

The 455's round up to 456.IF you aren't quite ready for the performance output of 477's and/or willing to spend the $1,000 then you might want to pick up one of my sets of 456's for $650 Obo+shipping????

I'm waiting when the next person is ready to step up and
A) Have a rare opportunity to own one of the few thousand sets of 477's ever made on Isuzu's from 1988 to 2003
B) Have one of the few badest Unique VX's around with this mod..and actually...one of the fewest with this mod in particular.

As most people just slam larger tires under the VX and then mod the engine for more umph to gain back the performance lost. But, by doing so you lose engine/tranny life, etc. These will give you more performance and save engine and drivetrain life.


Please notify me ASAP as this venture is my opportunity to keep my family out of the snow and utilities in the O N position.

Thank you ZEUS!!!!! You rule!!! oh yeah..and thanks Alaska vx for the Baby booty.
Max wants to say thanks. He's only 3 months old now so he sometimes gets frustrated with that, but what you hear is all thanks.

btw-enjoy the 477's in your daily driver

I'm running 285/60/18s on my VX now. I don't think I want to go any bigger. Are the 477s only if you want to go with a taller, wider tire than a 285?
Peace.

I'm not sure off the top of my head how tall 285's are - there are charts and calculators all over the web if you want exact numbers - but with everything else equal (i.e. if you keep your tires stock) and only swap out the gears, as the number goes up power increases and fuel economy decreases (and vice versa as the numbers go down). So dropping 456's in a stock VX with stock tires will give better acceleration in the low end (city driving), but slightly worse fuel economy on the high end (highway driving).

Accordingly to the calculator at www.4lo.com, and using 29" as the stock tire height, I get these numbers for maintaining a stock ratio:

Tire Height Gear Ratio
29" 4.30
30" 4.45
31" 4.60
32" 4.74
33" 4.89

So the 4.56 would be great for 30" or 31" tires, and the 4.77 would be best suited for 32" tires.

I believe off roaders prefer the really big numbers (like 5.38's?) because you can creep over the rocks really slowly while maintaining power, but SPAZZ can probably better explain that one.

Tom,

According to the tire calc. that I checked, 285/60 R 18 = 31.46" diam.
