And we're ready to start!

Yeh I was referring to running this thing in low on the street and your tcase in high. Ever see a overdrive unit? http://www.gearvendors.com/4x4.html My friend's step dad has one on his h1 and a supercharger too but thats another story. This would act as an underdrive unit. And allow you to run huge highway gears

Yeah, I said t-case... I was meaning this t-case/ portal.

I like the idea, trying to think of how the implementation would work, needing to notch or move the rear crossmember.

The more I think of it, the more I think running that thing in low would not be an issue. Its 5th gear out of the transmission (0.73) with a 2.75 reduction into a 1:1 open transfercase to 3.08 diff gears to 37" tires. We really need higher gear than that I think though.

so how could we deal with the interference of the stock t-case & the crossmember? any ideas?

You shouldn't have to move the torsion bar crossmember just put one behind it...I'm gonna have to go underneath the 3 and look

Don't "have to" move it, but you'll have to notch it significantly though.

Ok lol so we would need a different ratio black box thing or higher diff gears. Anyone know if we can get higher than a 3.08 in our front diff?

With a manual in 5th gear OD (0.73 ratio), the black box in low (2.72) and 3.08 axle gears with 37" tires we would be doing 70 MPH at 3887.6 RPM

With a manual in 5th gear OD (0.73 ratio), the custom geared black box in low (1.75) and 3.08 axle gears with 37" tires we would be doing 70 MPH at 2500 RPM


The first one would be like driving in an h1.

For driveshaft clearance? Or for the t case clearance?

T-case. moving it back 7.25" puts the body of the case into the crossmember significantly.

Just need a good welder and some 3/8" steel plate. ====|___|==== <----make that.
