I believe he has

Here's another dual crawling box option using the 231 t-case gears in a dual 231 or 231/241 combo. I found it on Pirate and the guy is now going to be selling the kit, here's the link:

Good Lord. 5 pages of thread for a decision that it is clear you have made.

You have procured a 241.

Have Ryan install it.

End of thread, end of discussion.

I wasn't sure what I wanted to do, the klune/20 or the 241. I decided on the 241, but the thread wasn't only for my benefit. This is a very relevant thread, gearing is a very important factor in wheeling as those who have wheeled know. I was just trying to see what people thought and would run with the choices out there. I should have stressed, which choice U would chose based on the price and what U get for your $.

What's your crawl ratio Crash, don't U run a nv4500, 4.3 Atlas and 4.88 gears in your 44/8.8?

If you have a couple grand to throw at your jeep with the goal of making it more Rubicon, Fordyce & JV friendly, here's what I'd suggest:
Leave the tcase as is. You have an auto & deep axle gearing, this should be fine, at least for awhile. In the mean time, go wheeling & figure out what you need/want, then buy an Atlas.

Sell your rear LP9 3rd, buy a True Hi9 3rd.
Send Ryan a few more $$$ & have him narrow your axles. It will be cheaper to have him do it now than in 6 months.

Hey what happened to Big Red's "Grocery List" sig line? :wierd: If you truly want to run JV then get rid of the full width axles. They are not West Coast approved. I remeber a Land Cruiser that kept getting stuck on Aftershock. Anyone got pics of it?

Frowned upon, especially when someone shows up with mods that our group KNOWS are going to fail.

In the narrow, tight, box canyons that we run in AZ and the SoCAl desert, full width axles force you to take some ridiculous high lines, forcing any sheetmetal you might have into the rocks. This usually bites the roof up near the drip rails first.

Now, on a fully buggified rig with a good driver, full width is not really a handicap, but you are definately going to be on a very different line than someone on 60 inch wide axles.

What good is all the extra stability if you have to take super-high lines to get through a trail?

WERD BRO! WERD!

Nuthin worse than trying to follow a full width yahoo through trails that the xj only clears by inches. HMMMMM I wonder how many full width guys run competitions? As far as I can remember NONE!

 

[roke40]

I checked out the link in your first post about the d20 swap and didn't see anything on their website about the AW4 transmisson. Is it a direct bolt in or is there an adapter? If so who makes it?

 

[XJZ]

He was going to put the K-V between the tranny and d20.

Dude, you're really ithing for trouble aren't you. I'll just have to see how the full width axles do, I'll be testing them out this summer. I think I'll be o.k.
