so now your shifter takes you from high range to low range and the center diff lock shifts between 2WD to 4WD. for 4WD you also need to lock the hubs.

I have checked everything. Scrapped the drive flanges as they were original and wore out. I can visibly watch the CVs rotate at the spindle and hear the simultaneous clunk when shifting from R to D and D to R. I can't rotate the CVs at all when parked, but I can rotate the tire a bit when jacked up, so it would seem there is play in the hub. Good news is that there is rarely any clunk when driving.
Yeah it's about time I got into the transfer case. I've only had the spool sitting on the workbench for 15 months....but I keep thinking about instaling the underdrive gear too.
highly recommend the under drive at a minimum, if you are wanting lower low i also highly recommend the 3:1 low gears... P/T, under drive, low range gears 1000% my favorite upgrade(s) for my 100 series..
does it clunk every time you shift between R & D? what about between Park and Reverse?
Same
I would highly recommend the Low gear install, underdrive setup too. Part time if you not needing full time 4x4 in snow / ice conditions through the year.
I live in Texas so, part time works for me here. Very little snow / ice. Once you go part time then it’s a conventional 4x4 with those restrictions can’t operate on dry payment , now have to stop lock your hubs, engage center dif lock or low range to have 4x4. If you drive hubs locked and center dif unlocked you are spinning the front axles and driveshaft without a load and possible vibration at high speeds. But have 4x4 on demand.
The other upgrade I did, Supercharger and that is a huge upgrade. Feels like you dropped a 5.7 v8 in and really transform the way the truck leans into the torque and accelerates at lower rpm’s .
Be mindful underdrive unit can make a little gear noise when cold and quieter when warmer. Unlike you hear nothing before.
Clunking R, D, R axle flanges yep, mine where worn, CV axles internals some can have wear, dive line u joints , slip yoke, and mine also has slop in the spider gears inside the transfer case itself that gets removed when you do a part time kit.
Hope it helps

Every time unless center diff is locked. I will post a video of the CVs rotating and clunking.
ETA on restock?
Cheers!

Decided to join the PT club. Just grabbed the last in-stock kit from @cruiseroutfit
Still need to get the 10% set-up before I tear into it.

Will do, sir! Thanks for the tip.
I do not track mine (it was bad before and still is). The much lighter steering and overall improved drivability is very nice. Increasing the longevity of the frontend was primary motivation for me.
The reduced load/stress on the front end is my reasoning as well. AWD is nice when it's needed but even out here in the Denver area it never rains and the snow is melted within a couple days. Having a part-time set-up will be more than enough.

Given the popularity of Rock Warriors I'm surprised to see very few pics of them with these hubs on this thread... What exactly is the minimum spacer needed for these hubs to fit RW's? I'm on 3/4" spacers and do not want more offset. @cruiseroutfit can you measure the overall height? Sorry if I missed that in these last 36 pages...
I installed the part time kit last year and have Rock Warriors. I found out they do not fit over the new locking hubs so I had them all (5) machined to fit. Kind of a bummer as the center TRD caps don't fit now but oh well. Another $250 to have that done but I love the part time so it was worth it !
Waiting for the @cruiseroutfit xmas sale to complete my part-time conversion! My last 2 purchases were after the black Friday sale and I need to grab the high range 10% underdrive and the 3.1:1 low range set-up.

What width spacers are you using?
