:usa: The wife wants her cruiser to crawl even slower than mine.
I would like to know your guys opinion on what we should put or money towards. This is what we have for her,
1.350 chevy motor
2.sm465 Transmission
3.NP 205 transfercase
4.Dana 60 front 410,gear ratio, trac lock 30 spline
5.Dana 60 rear 410,gear ratio,detroit locker 30 spline
I would like any opinion I told her we could go to like 5.13 or 7.17 gear Ratio,I would like to look at every other way,transfer case Transmission up grade what do you guys think?I know the wife will get what she wants in the long run:flipoff2: ATLAS 4.3:1 But I would like what you guys got for Ideas.:usa:

what size tires? do you use it on the street at all? I have 5.13s in my D60s with 38.5" tires, i like the combo. You could do a tcase doubler but i doubt you have the wheelbase for it in a cruiser. likewise you could do a Klune underdrive but again i doubt you have the wheelbase. I think your setup now is pretty much ideal and lower r&p is probably your best solution.

do the atlas take the r&p money put it towards the atlas--sams off road is selling them at the best price i have seen without doing a real intense search--$2095 for 4.3:1 and 1895 for 3.8&3.0:1--figure r&p at $1000 parts and labor double that and you are there--plus you can clock the atlas and gain ground clearance

well what i was trying to get at is that if it's driven on the street at all and the tires are big, the lower R&P will be advantageous on the trail and on the street. IMO 4.1s are too high for 35" or larger tires.

this was just covered in the thread -http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=36499

there is some good info in here. If you are using a cruiser 3speed bellhousing, you can swap in a 420 cheap, and save a few inches for the Klune-V. This would be a little more $$ than the Atlas - probably btwn$2500 and $3000, but you would have 2:1 low, 4:1 low, or 8:1 low, instead of just 4.3:1 -
Good Luck!

203 reduction box with WMS 3.6 gears. Stronger and lower than a Klune 2.7 and infinitely stronger than a Klune 4.0.

I run 35 BFG mud I dont know if she would like to run a taller tire that is a good ?.I thank you, Atlas is cool but damn R&P is a good idea but would you have to change out the carriers for the difference in ratio.5.13 or higher?
