Ok I read the last post about strongest t case gears and cant figure out who where to buy them. dont know dave?

So sami buggy with cromo 44's and efi1.3 with 35-37 inch tires, linked bla bla. I had a petroworks 5.1 in it and never broke them and beat the holly hell out of it. I want to try the 6.0? or 6.5? whatever is stronger but am gun shy. I want stronger than I had before. (picture rev limiter on all day violence) My last sami buggy was indistructable and I want that same abilility but again want to try 6.0's ot 6.5' I think... or be honest and tell me to stick with what brand 5.0's...again this rig is beat to death ( I bent the frame in half jumping up ledges, rocks and wheeled it for another season)

Your old buggy held up amazingly well , Mike ,although , I'm not sure how.

With anything lower that the 5 to 1's , IMO , you are lookin to start grenading the case halves (=beer can):nuke:

We all know how you drive , mang:flipoff2:
Have you thought about the divorce Toyota t case setup with 5 to 1's in it?

There are so many t-case options out there I'd spend a little more coin for a tougher set-up. Just my .02.

My vote is to go Toy. They are popular and the parts are cheaper because of that. You can get the gear kit and the divorce kit for around what you will pay for a low gear kit for a sammy t-case. Plus, you always have the option of going with a dual t-case set-up then.

My idea is to buy once and build from there. Go toy and there are more options for future mods. You should look for a rusted or junk toy truck. I have bought five in the last two months. Average cost: $125

Benefits:
Stronger
Gear sets are cheaper
Centered rear driveline

how much lower does it hang down? ie toyota without creating to much intermidiate shaft angle?
