: Orion TC
osteology 07-01-2003, 05:28 PM Just thought I'd let people know that if you've been thinking about the Orion case, and you are real nice to the guy on the ol' telephone, they are still willing to let people in on the original sale/preorder price.
BTW - YES! I put my deposit down and sometime later this summer should have a low gear option. I can't wait to go slow!:bounce2:
ROCK HUGGER 07-01-2003, 05:33 PM They are going to be a great option for Cruiser owners.
I would be more interested if I didn't allready have a Rock Box.
with a 4-1 tcase behind that, that would be way to low.
I love the gearing of the stock case RB and sm420:D
ToyLand4x4 07-01-2003, 07:55 PM I got one ordered too! Cast iron and 4 to1 is too good to pass up,
plus we get to keep our stock rear ends. I like both my diffs on one side! :D
Did they firm up the delivery time frame any better?
When I ordered they just took my card and said " we will let you know".... that was April...........
Sounds like if they are still taking the "one time only" sale price for several extra months,... they have not placed an order for gears? IMO
Rumor was they need 300 Orions to get tooled up??
I read somewhere 64 were ordered.
fill me in ....

osteology 07-01-2003, 08:54 PM When I called this afternoon, they said it would be August - I hope it isn't any longer than that - don't want to play the 'almost ready' waiting game.
Goebeler 07-01-2003, 09:14 PM What price are they qouting and will it work with the tree speed transmission set up? I would love to put one in if it is a direct replacement for a three speed transfer case.
Vortec_Cruiser 07-01-2003, 09:45 PM Yes, they are a direct replacement. I can hardly wait until they're ready.:rolleyes:
proffitt'scruisers 07-01-2003, 10:19 PM I have one comming for a customer. AA says they should have the first 350 out by the end of August.
I don't know what retail is...Maybe 1400?
ToyLand4x4 07-01-2003, 10:54 PM When I ordered they said July maybe, probably August, I asked how many were pre ordered and they said about 150, that was about 3 weeks ago.
green73 07-01-2003, 11:42 PM I can't wait to get the "Orion" and SM420 conversion done.
Rascal 07-02-2003, 10:10 PM Mark,

This is more dreaming/drooling. I've got a pair of Long's coming - that's the extent of my budget...;)
