But cheapest is 4.88s because that's ALL you have to change.
what is the cheapest way to get a good crawl ratio while keeping my highway gears?
I've got a 78' fj40 Ive had a couple of years and just put a 4" lift, 35's on and power steering conversion. next are ausssie lockers. after that, what is the cheapest way to get a good crawl ratio while keeping my highway gears?
so the sm 420 is a chevy 4 speed trans adaptable to my transfer case?
I am trying to stay under $1,500.00

uh
uh
not possible
How would that allow him to keep his highway gears?
As long as you find the input gear to make it work with the 10 spline output of the 420.
You will also need an adapter to make the transfer case bolt to the rear of the transmission.
You will also need to source a three-speed flywheel housing, unless you already have a Chev engine in your truck.
Can be done, as has been described, as long as you are not paying someone to do the work for you.
Not the same thing.rokbox or a toybox whatever you wanna call em
The OP was looking for an inexpensive option.
I am very curious about the Orion. The PO of my 77 fj40 changed out the diffs for some 3.70's I think. It's great running around town but can't imagine trying to crawl with it. 4low is still pretty fast. Is the Orion an addition to my transfer case or a total replacement? Would it only affect 4 low? Not trying to hijack, just trying to understand the consequences of each choice. Thanks, Slow Poke
