c'mon bite the bullet. once 3 of us do it he'll make 10. so lets get some of the units made. :grinpimp: its $399 for the adapter and $199 if you want the modified clutch kit and bearings.

The rear lever is the one by the front corner of my front seat...you must have aggressive backseat drivers!:D

I was for sure gonna buy one of these, but then OTT came out with the kick t-case mated to toy t-case adaptor.... so then I only had to buy one adaptor to make dual cases instead of two!! Saving me tonnes of money on shipping since I'm from canada. I would go that route if I were you... but that's just my opinion. The other reason is that there is no clutch modifying or throwout bearing modifying. Have you thought about going that route at all?

i'm really thinking of just running them with the ott divorce mount adapter. it would make it very simple and pretty cheap too. i havn't seen the kick to toy adaptor. i'll have to look at it.

It's brand spankin' new. It's not even on their website yet. Pook got one and there is a pic on one of his threads... do a search for "frame" and you'll probably find it. OTT put a pic in there if you scroll down

doh!! I found the thread but it's not there anymore but they do talk about it. I suggest contacting OTT.. might save you money in the long-run.... only have to buy one adaptor rather than two... Use that money to buy 4.7's for the rear case since they are so cheap right now. Mr. UPS gave me mine today!!! Yahoo!!!!

right now divorce mounting an ultimate crawler setup is looking like the best route to me.

i'll have a stock tranny + 205:1, and i'll save on the cost and weight of the toy tranny.

Does the tunnel need massaging for the toyota tranny?

Will it fit with say a 2" bodylift?

Like a kick tranny...it needs major massaging. You can see the install on the zuk page of ORC this month. A two inch body lift would make a significant difference, Im not sure what youd have to do, but it would be less!
