For replacing the upper timing chains on the VQ40DE, the ring gear stopper is almost an essential tool unless one wants to remove the upper plenum and valve covers. I bought mine from Suzuki for around $100 w/ shipping (the Suzuki Equator is a re-badged Frontier) a few months ago. Since then, they have lowered the price to $47.99+shipping (about $20 ground). If anyone needs one, here's the link:
