Fuel economy certainly has improved, as said in earlier post down to 15.2L/100 on some sections and an overall improvement. If by chance you wanted to sit on 90/95Kph I bet you would see a massive improvement but I never tried it.

Since I had to find this thread I will give a little update. My Canter now has done just under 40,000K's on the gears and all is going well.
What more can I say - I enjoy driving it and we use it as a run around instead of the Landcruiser.

I'm looking into current pricing on getting gears cut so if anyone is interested let me know as more numbers equals lower pricing.

I will send them to the states but I'm sorry you have to pay freight. The gear set weights close to 34lbs.
You won't regret doing it,

Dan, have you looked at other companies that might do the gear cutting work? I assume you have a drawing of the specs of the gears you had made, which would theoretically make it easier to get some quotes a bit further afield. Take a look at hardmanbros.com.au, they are in Melbourne but might be worth a try....I'd love the gears but too exxy for me at the moment, a boy can dream?

Yes I am looking at other gear cutters as I did a while ago. But there is a problem with that in a lot of them can't handle this small a gears, even though they are bigger than Cruiser or Patrol gears they are considered small and they have trouble cutting the dog teeth that the high/low selector hub meshes with. It certainly would be nice to come in at a lower price.

Obviously a specialised job then, good luck with the search and if I could be of any help down here in Vic, then I'd be happy to do some running around.....keep me in the loop as I am still interested in a set if the price is right. Dunno if your on facebook? I'm technically not, but I stalk my wife's account and there is an increasing number of canter owners on there who may be interested in the gears, search for 'Mitsubishi canter 4x4 owners', as it's a common complaint for us all. One of them even stuck in a supercharged LS3, fun to watch on youtube, , but I still prefer my little old diesel.

I'm looking at getting another run of gears made and the price has come through and it is a lot better than before. We are looking at $4,500 a set. I will be asking for deposit as I need to pay them (the Gearcutters) a deposit to start. This price is good only on a multiple buy as a single price is a lot dearer.
Please let me know as I need to give them an "Okay" on the job.
