4:1 toybox with the split case

I have the 2.28 toybox with the splitcase and love it. Go with the split case.

What ya got for a parking brake? Do you care? If no then split case.

 

[incogrhino]

I'll have the axle parking brake.I'm running fj60 axles under the fj40.I will also have a line lock in the system.

sorry for the hi jack .. did you have pics or more detail in your line lock .. ( I have rear disk brake setup with monte carlo calipers but not very happy with the cable e-brake setup )

Orion.

Orion.

Why would you rather have an orion over a toybox?

I run a 2000 psi ball valve for a line lock/parking brake. It works great and holds the truck good.

Why would you rather have an orion over a toybox?

Strength and simplicity. Ratio is close to the same as a stock geared toybox coupled to a stock tcase. No D/S issues either.

 

[CruisinGA]

I would take more gearing options with a lower low range over the orion...

Splitcase is plenty strong for this app...

Orion is easier/cheaper.

Orion AND the Toy Box

2.48:1 in the toy box and 4.0:1 in the Orion. Twin stick on the Orion.

2.48:1 gears are nice for most trails, the Orion 4.0:1 gears will get through most everything else.

Stupid low (both) is just fun.

 

[numtel]

That seems like a waste of money to me to replace both. Why would you rather have a toybox over a rockbox? The rock box is much cheaper.

Orion AND the Toy Box

2.48:1 in the toy box and 4.0:1 in the Orion. Twin stick on the Orion.

2.48:1 gears are nice for most trails, the Orion 4.0:1 gears will get through most everything else.

Stupid low (both) is just fun.

This gets you essentially the same double low as the 4.7 toybox+splitcase, only it costs twice as much.

I don't know how much a split case would cost, or even if it is a practical consideration for me.
I am pretty sure that if something breaks it won't be the Orion t-case.

doubt it would be the toy box either...

How do mini cases stand up? I think Mace is running one. I have heard they aren't strong enough for a cruiser, but they seem to douple up nice, and you would have more torque going through doubled minis or a 4.7 mini than a stock cruiser case.
