2wd t-case plus 4wd t-case? - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

GreyZuk · 02-03-2008, 12:55 PM

If I stretch out my wheelbas from stock, mount a fuel cell in the bed of my sammi to eliminate the tank underneath, would it be possible or feasible to mate a 2wd sammi transfercase to a 4wd sammi transfer case. the stock 2wd case has the standard 1.8:1 (or whatever it is) reduction for high range and my current 4wd t-case has 4:1 gears. If I doubled them up, I should have about a 7:1 reduction which I hope will be enough gearing along with stock yota 4.10's to turn 35-36" tires in the rocks. I know the case would need to be really well supported and reinforced. wadda ya think?

its gonna look ghetto as hell with driveshafts going from case to case all croked because of the offsets, but there is no reason it wouldent work.theres just WAY better ways to go about doing this

Isn't the stock t-case 1:1 in high range?

Edit... just found it... it's 1.41:1

it's 1.8:1 just like 4wd sammis. otherwise, 2wd sammis would need different gearing in the tranny and they all use the same tranny

1.8 = Track/Kick

1.41 = Sami

That's a lot of work for a 5.6:1 reduction

Sell the 4:1 and the stock case, buy a 6.4:1 case
