There is a fellow named Mike Smith who drives a Ford TT according to what I've read he had a custom transfer case designed by Dennis Cook and the case was made by Advanced Machine Dynamics of Highland CA.
Anybody got a phone number or website of either of these guys?
I need a case like that, (full time high horsepower)
Thanks
Jeff

Not to piss in your cheerios, but you better have $20-$40k to spend if you want one of their cases. That's a 5-6 year-old article on the Herbst 4wd Trophy Truck that is still running strong today. Smith was the builder, I don't think he ever drove it in competition.
Weismann WAS building a $60k+ 6-speed semi-auto tranny for them a few years ago, so I'm sure they can help with the transfer case. You may also want to get in contact with the Baldwins or Johnny Greaves about a Pro 4 case if you're serious. Probably a lot more up to date and maybe even cheaper that what Herbst/Smith were running 5 years ago.
Good luck!

If you have some money to toss out on a transfer case you might want to check out XTRAC (http://www.xtrac.com/mainindex.htm). I talked to them at the Las Vegas 300 and they make some great products, but you pay for it. The Jimco Trophy truck uses their transmission with a transfer case built into it and I have not heard of them having any issues with it. That TT is not 4wd. They have been making the gear sets in most of the top Trophy truck teams for about the last 18 months and have gears in every TT that has won a race in the last 6 months to a year.
Or if that's more than what you are looking to invest into then contact the PRO 4 teams and see what transfer case they are running like Manfroy said.
