"Poser Name"??? Exactly how is that a poser name?

BTW, this is a customers rig, I dont have a need for a Klune-V in my rig, I think its an overkill set up not just a decent set up...

Gonna 1 Ton his TJ first of the year, and he's planning on doing a Tuneport 350... It is kinda weird trying to hold the brakes when its in low-low...

Did you mount the crossmember off the Klune? If so do you have better pics?

Rokcrler

the Klune adapter and mounting plate were used but the mounting plate was just used as a 'spacer'. It didnt need to be mounted. I'll post better pics in a few days. the only mods to the skid plate that were needed was to cut the rear lip off where the Atlas would hit it and a flat skid was made to protect the level tube.

Used the stock tranny mount to skidplate. Even with my 200lbs i could not bounce the setup enuf to hit the skid...

The front shaft needed to be lengthened 1.5" and the rear shortened 1.5". Front is running 2 joint shaft and rear is CV.

The atlas is that much shorter than the stock 231? :eek:

How long is the V-clune? 8"~10".
This might be a good excuse/advantage to get an atlas over teralow 231 kit.
Gives you a longer rear shaft.. :D

The you loose the length of your slip yoke and gain the choice of two gear choices.

The Klune, for a TJ, adds 7.5" between the tranny and the transfer case.

The Atlas is 2.5" shorter than a SYE'd 231. I can't remember how much shorter than a stock 231 it is.

As for using the stock skid, I would wonder if it will twist up when you are in low-low.

With a 4.0/NV3550/Atlas 4.3 combo, mine twists the stock skid and thumps the body. I would guess a 2.5/Auto/Klune/Atlas would produce more body thumping twisting torque than my setup.

Are you sure it is not twisting on the rubber tranny mount.

I am using an AA tranny mount with about a foot of seperation between the rubber 'pucks'. I don't have alot of twisting and am close to the body in several places.

I would think that spreading the mounts out further apart would be a good idea on a setup like this.

This TJ is running a 1" bodylift and i really dont like 'bashing' the body like AA said was needed with the chosen clocked position.

The stock mount will be coming out on tues and i'm putting in a poly mount. Theres plenty of clearance between the Atlas and body so the torquing wont cause contact with the body. I might install a 1"x 2" crossmember attatched to the Klune mount from frame rail to frame rail to minimize drivetrain twist.

What ratio's is he running in each box? i agree also its overkill if he is gonna run a V-8, would work good with a 4cyl but useless with a V-8 (unless your goal is to eat alot of gas on the trail ;) )

Klune-V Ratio: 1 to 1 high range; 2.7 to 1 low range
Atlas 4.3:1
4:56's, auto tranny, 33" SX's.

I currently have a poly trans mount in there. I checked the motor mounts too, but they are in good shape (1" Lift MORE Rubber). The skid is from a 2.5 TJ and is also in good shape.

I'm guessing it is the skid allowing the twist.
