Windshield is still there, little crunched on driver lower section. Actually started cracking along passenger A pillar after fall crawl at F&F, removing and not replacing will be on winter to do list.

Cage did it's job.

Prepping for a large winter upgrade expenditure. But still less than last year's winter upgrade expenditures.

build a buggy already man

Knew that was coming. Ha

I will at some point. It's fine. This is an upgrade for anything I build down the road.

ill build you a budget chassis.... did it for troy


8-9$ a foot assembled is do able.  most cars are 180-230' of tube.  can always do the hard parts and leave the straight stuff for you to fill in makes it easier for me...

Klune V to a Ford 205?

I've been looking at options for a twin stick drivers drop case, and that has never crossed my mind...

Details are appreciated..

[Harrison]

It's a D&D billet box (budget Klune from Pirate vendor) with 231 guts and an early Bronco Dana 20 with a Jeep input conversion. Comes to around 6.4:1 in low low. There is a 32spl AA rear output on it but no upgrades exist for anything else including the coarse 10spl front output. Seen many pics of broken in half D20 cases including from people here and do not want that. Been running it for 5 years and it's treated me well but I have wheeled a lot harder this last year than ever before so I'm upgrading to a 4.3 Atlas. I considered running a 205 behind the box but no easy way to get there from where I am and I don't think anything more than a single low range 4ish to 1 is needed for an auto anyway. You can buy NWF or Klune boxes that will bolt to a 205 though.

Wish you could just 4:1 a 205 but you can't. Atlas it is.

Smike, we can talk sometime at Rausch this year. I have been watching a lot of small light 4cyl rigs on big stickies just killing it this past year and have had that path on my mind. Work space is an issue right now for me building something ground up.

find a picture(s) of what you want and send it over to get me thinking. 


what drives the need for such gearing?  lack of hp  / trans cooling?

[mr.mindless]

having driven both 4:1 and 2:1, I'd vastly prefer 4:1 for technical crawling.

For hauling ass, if there's enough ponies to turn the tires 2:1 is just fine. I wouldn't want to try to cone dodge with it or run super technical lines.

[Harrison]

5.38 gears, 2.72 t case gears <200hp and 39s leaves a lot to be desired for slow technical crawling

[TrailTamer]

I wonder why there's still no "auto" t-case/range box. Shift-on-the-fly for competition purpose.
