D60 front are on some Chevs, Fords, and Dodges. Just gotta search. 14 bolts are Chev only I think. 203 is a common Chev t-case and the 205 is as well. Doublers are much more useful IMO than a single Atlas low gear, and would fit will with your drivetrain length. Medusa 04-11-2002, 07:41 AM I basically agree with Woody except for the part about the Ford Dana 60 front. If an Atlas is too spendy, then I doubt you would like the price tag for the RC Ford D60. Since Fords have a driver's side pumpkin, you have to completely re-do the axle tubes to move it to the passenger's side and to narrow it. Furthermore, with the long drivetrain Woody favors (700R4, 203 and 205), the front driveshaft is long enough that you don't need the high pinion. That, of course, is only my opinion. wngrog 04-11-2002, 10:32 AM Use a NP208 transfer behind the 700R4. It is aluminum and rated for bigger vehicles than the FJ-60. I think it is a great choice. It gets a bad wrap due to being chin driven but it is a stout case! | |
