4:1 / Crawler TCase

[TiredIronGRB]

I've read where some are "developing" a 4:1 / Crawler TCase, does anyone make one that will work with the A440 in my '91.

i think there is something on slees site about it

Mark's 4wd conversions are developing a Cruiser Crawler box that goes on the back of the T/case.

There's a 3:1 crawler box already in production. http://www.marks4wd.com/Cruiser-Crawler.htm
It's a bolt on box that adds an additional low gear, with a final drive through the t-case at around 8:1.

IIRC they will need you to modify your gas tank some how, I called Slee a year or so ago and was told they had a fuel cell and there were a few other things that needed doing....Im sure someone in the know will chime in.
Good luck

On the early trucks there are no exterior tcase mods, on the later, you will need to grind some on the outer case to fit the crawl box. You can also change out the later mid case and rear case sections to those from an earlier truck and avoid any exterior mods. With this mod you will need a longer rear driveshaft. On both cases, internally you need to grind a pair of ears in front of the input shaft bearing for clearance.

There is a gearset available through Advance Adapters for i beleive a 25% reduction in low for $1300.oo not near 4:1 but it is way cheaper

Nothing really exists in the 4:1 range that is bolt in. You'll be going the custom route.

Thanks for the info, this gets me looking in the right direction I think.

I've not heard of this one yet. Can you send me a link. I would be VERY interested in a 25% increase at that price.

Clowns got it, I sent them an e mail a while back and they gave me a quote of $1300.oo U.S.

Just called AA and they do not stock this gear set but can get it just like they can get the crawl box. 6-8 weeks timeframe. The crawl box was cheaper than I thought... only $2400 + $96 shipped to CO so I will probably go that route when I get some $$.

Slee can also get this crawl box for a good price and I imagine the low gear set as well.

Who else has the cruiser crawler box installed besides Slee?

 

[Tapage]

very very nice .. for extreme rigs .. !ª

I have the crawler box in the shortbus. You need a body lift, little change to the crossmember and changes to the gas tank. So for most people this rules out the fitment. That said, it was the best mod I ever did to it. Allows great control on the trail and it allows me to crawl over stuff without winding the motor up to get going.

 

[TiredIronGRB]

I thought it fit without mods on the "91-'92.

 

[sleeoffroad]

Not in terms of the gas tank, body lift or crossmeber.

Dam that is cheap, i was expecting double that . Hummmmm

 

[baxter650]

How about the crawl box and the low gear together?

How many people would it take to get Adavanced Adaptorss to make an Atlas 2 work? or if they are not up to it what about this Stack 3 speed TC? also I read that Atlas may come out with a 4 speed?
