Does anyone have an Atlas II in there fj60? is this a custom piece or a bolt on? what prices do they run?

Thanks,
Nicholas
 
call AA for a price.
typically about $2600 or so

Adapters depend on your transmission.
Rear output is centered, you will need a new rear axle that is not offset.

I think it can easil;y be defined as Custom..


What are you trying to do?
 
go with a marlin crawler box... takes a bit to get one but they are great. I love mine and you dont have to reconfigure everything to get it in there. Not to mention they run $1500 for the 2.28 or $200 for the 4.7 (which is an overkill for a wagon in my opinion). Good Luck!
 
This may be a dumb question, but why can't you run a centered output transfer case to a non-centered axle? Sure, the drive shaft will be caddy-wumpus, but the u-joints don't care, do they?

The U-joints do care. For a buggy/trail only rig the angles would probably be fine, but for a highway driven rig, the vibrations would be pretty nasty.

If the angles match front to rear on the dshaft it should not matter. Just don't exceed the operating angles of the joints and bind them up at flex.

I wanted to upgrade my transfercase and was looking at different options for what would work and what wouldnt. I would prefer not to completely change my drivetrain, which is still stock.

atlas II was said to be the best t/c out there! i will check out the marlin now!

You could also look at the Klune-V unit. Similar the the Marlin.

It's very interesant note no Atlas option to off set rear axles .?
 
no dual offset atlas.

Basicaly there is no call for one..

BTW, very few people have broken the split tcases that were in good condition. It is a very stout unit.
