Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

The NP231 is the Dana 35 of transfercases. I wouldn't ever put $ into one again.

my only issues with my 231 was a wear issue with a shift fork and that collary thingy, and a ninja rock got on top of my skid plate and poked a hole in the case

i like the fact i can run stock xj shafts at each end. although i can do that with a 231/300 doubler as well.

Hmm, ok. We'll change it to Dana 30. Still works, but the best thing out there.

dana30's are weaker than 35's you tard

Of course its not the best thing out there, what the hell are you comparing it to? A 203 or a 205?

Bill has one pushing 39s, I had one pushing 35s and DDin damn reliably, and plenty other people kept them when upgrading axles/tires.

Not a comparison to a D30 or D35 by any means.

How many people have broken a planetary set in one?

A fresh chain? (Not some stretched out one)

A case that wasn't from a stretched chain?

Not to mention they're much lighter, and much more compact than other transfer cases.

I'm pretty sure they have the same ring gear diameter and use the same bearings, spline count, and shaft dia. :moon:

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

as far as shafts go, i just need a lengthened rear one correct? and the 1310 yokes?

but 35-30=5

so a 30 is 5 hit points weaker than a 35

id do a 231/300 doubler and run stock shafts.

its like an inch longer than a 231 by itself

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

i just had a set of HID bulbs shipped to my house via usps. they were marked delivered on friday the 11th. i figured my grandfather with his hiorrenduos memory just moved them and forgot to tell me. so I was tearing the shop apart looking everywhere (its a big place).

they didnt actually get delivered until yesterday. I was not a happy camper since the bulbs were for a customer

So I talked to my neighbor last night. Apparently what happens is the box gets scanned and marked delivered when it gets to Brockton or wherever it goes before one business day before delivery. Sounds like they know that they're doing it. Sort of iritating, but at least we know now.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

my reason for my 231 goin boom was it has 203k on it and zero fluid, besides that it took a massive beating with shitty gearing and big tires, it also had decent size chunks missing out of the bottom from getting dragged on rocks, and anthony if its such a bad case then why u using it for your doubler?

When you woke up at 5:30, which side of the bed was it on? Holy crap dude, relax.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Wrong.

The reason D35s get crapped on so much is because they are in the REAR of the XJ.

Put a D30 out back and watch it grenade.

It's cheap and I have 3 with various parts removed.

When you went to college, did they teach you to speak before knowing what you're talking about?

I'm not trying to be harsh (and I'm actually in a good mood today ) I just don't get why you say things like this (on a regular basis).

Ask Chris.

Pretty sure he's hashed that debate out numerous times.

You can use just the stock tranny mount, but it's not a bad idea to make a secondary mount to both hold the weight of the D300 and the extra torque of the doubler. Plenty of people run it without the extra mount, though.

FWIW, that doubler kit is about $500. It's going to add up fast.

And if you do a doubler, you'll be blowing up your 44.

See where I'm going with this?

plenty of people do doublers with 44's.

not everyone needs a 60.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

then if the double will blow my shit up, why run it? if i can get D300 4:1 gears for a good price, i'll run just the 300. a rubi case is ~900 bucks. if i can do a d300 w/4:1 for less than 1000 bucks, i came out WAY ahead imho, espically bc i can do honda-esc ricer burnouts. i dont see a need for the insanely low low like chris has on his doubler, its INSANE.
