my buddy has his sammi to a rolling chassis now (coilover front and rear 38.5's etc) and it is time to start on the drivetrain.

here's the question does anyone know of or have any links to someone using a kick drivetrain and putting a zuk tcase on the end to run dual cases? any help would be appreciated. thanks!




p.s. the reason i ask is because we have all these parts at our disposal and it sure would save a ton of cash.

thanks!

does any body happen to know what the low range would be with both cases in 4 low?

The kick 1st gear is 3.65, tcase 1.8, whatever the sammy case is... (say 4:1), and R&P (say 4.10)... here's how to do the math in this scenario.

3.625 x 1.8 x 4.0 x 4.10 = 107.80 in LowLow

you finally figured it out!!

Yay me!

Nah really... I don't know why I had such a hard time with it before... I was searching (at pirate I might add

) and figured it out. Now I have #'s in my head all the time... I'm looking at some really LOW #'s but I still need a medium numerical fix, tire size is a killer, I might have to go into the R&P this summer.

Re: Bacon bits...

My gearing II spreadsheet has provision for calulating 2 Xfers if you wish... Follow the link below.

Re: Bacon bits...

thanks again. i knew there would be something like that out there!

so how bad would a 77:1 crawl ratio be for starters? you think that would get us by for a few months?

 

[1339]

Re: Bacon bits...

Thats a decent start, close to 2X the stock ratios.

 

[1396]

Re: Bacon bits...

the gearing options would definately be endless.

i think we're gonna start on it next weeks ometime. i'll post some pics.

Re: Bacon bits...

here's a pic.

What size/length coilovers? What's he running 4 link front and rear? What is the wheelbase extended to? That is pretty crazy flex, any better pics?

3.63 x 1.86 x 5.14 x 4.88 = 169.36

And don't forget to figure in the reduction from the torque converter.

Re: Bacon bits...

Who's shop is that? I noticed the Full-Traction banner on the wall.

 

[1396]

Re: Bacon bits...

i'll get some better pics up maybe tonight.

the shop is my buddies shop overkill offroad.

the front susupension is a w link 4 link set up and the rear is sort of a 1 link setup that pivots off of the EXPENSIVE ball joint in the front. looks like a big trailer ball. it would have flexed alot more considering there isn't a motor in it so the front wasn't flexing at all and the rear is just tack welded so we didn't want to break anything.

Re: Bacon bits...

here's a bad pic of the rear.

Re: Bacon bits...

here's the trailer ball.

Re: Bacon bits...

you can kinda see the front in this pic.
