The Moab special is $1,295, which included the SYE, which by itself is $ 219...so eesentially $ 1,076 for the gears, just $81 more than this special which doesn't include the SYE. eh Then again, w/o the GONE or MOAB specials, its $1,295 for JUST the gears... As this was my next planned mod....you are making me insane you bass turd.

Would you suggest a new clutch at the same time? ~67k miles.

Only if your clutch need to be changed/upgraded... Its not like they go together and you'd save a ton of $ like when you do diff gears when you do a locker, etc. For manuals, the lower gears would extend your clutch life, as you wouldn't have to let it slip as much off road, etc.

this might be a stupid question to some, but what exactly does this gear reduction improve and why?

Well, I can't tell if you have a manual or an automatic tranny...but think of it this way... If you ever had a 10 speed bike for example, you know how you would shift to a lower gear to get up a steep hill, and you would be pedalling really fast but going really slow? Well, that's one thing making the low gears lower does for you....for the same engine rpm, you are going much slower...and in rocks, etc...the slower you can go w/o stalling, the better....it gives you more control. If you have a manual, and you are trying to go slowly through an obstacle, etc...you need too slip the clutch sometimes to acheive enough rpm to get required torque, but keep the actual truck speed at a safe pace...so the lower gearing allows you to save your clutch. If you are descending a steep hill, etc...and you don't want to brake, as that tends to slip sideways, etc....you just leave it in gear, and ride it down...which is sometimes too fast...lower gears help you to maintain a slower descent speed. What they do is replace the low range gears in the T-Case....so they are only in use in 4WD Lo....the rest of the time, the truck is as it was before. So, lower gearing helps you to maintain power at slow speeds, improving control, maintain slow speeds on descent, and save your clutch.

I bought my gears for the Moab special with the free SYE, but opted to go without the Slip yoke, so it ended up being $1295. WELL WORTH EVERY PENNY!! I upgrade the clutch at the same time since you have to remove the crossmembers, and suspension anyway. I got a great deal on labor too. For the 5 speed owners.. You can start in 3rd gear in 4 low without even touching the gas pedal.. First gear will pull houses off their foundation. INSANE POWER!! Which is why I'm going up to 35's tires soon My 33's have been spinning a bit while wheeling.. $995 is amazing price! Same as the other crawler gears they offer.. If you own a 5 speed tranny, YOU NEED THESE GEARS!!

Hello All. We are currently updating our Nissan site to reflect the 2006 Moab Special. DBAX is correct. The sale is $995.00 for gears plus shipping and the sale will go through April 30th. Don't forget to request a CALMINI T-shirt!

Our SYE serves three basic functions
1. Allows for a CV-style, two piece driveshaft for long travel applications where the stock slip-yoke would fail. This style of driveshaft will allow for more slip in the middle where it is needed than the stock slip-yoke can provide at the t-case side. 2. If the stock slip-yoke fails on the trail the oil will all leak out of the transfer case leaving you without an easy fix. Our SYE completely seals the rear output of the t-case ensuring that it will not be an issue. 3. Our SYE allows for a larger than stock 1310 or 1330 u-joint to be used making the entire unit stronger than the factory slip-yoke and driveshaft.

Cool. Man - I didn't want to spend any more money... but I may have to go ahead with these gears. With gears plus dual lockers I'll be freakin' unstoppable - even with my stinky IFS

You had to remove the cross member to add the gears?

My shop took the transmission and t-case down as an assembly, so the crossmembers came out as well. I might be wrong but isnt the Torsion bar crossmember directly under the Transfer case?
