Default Re: Project traction

Yes, rear axle will remain as is.

10 G's?! Mwuhaha... A brandnew transfer case retails for about $2700 complete (I believe it includes the shift actuator) from your local Toyota dealer. I found mine used for $1200. The front differential retails for about $1300, but may not be required. It also has 3.90 gears, so it's not a drop in... I'm looking to see if the jackshaft will swap over to the tundra diff, thus eliminating all the extra front axle parts.

Given the only major expense is the $2700 case, and the fact that eventually you'd be able to sell the stock transfer case for about $1000, add a couple hundred to the technician if you can't perform the swap, maybe a couple hundred for misc... an outlay of around $2k dosn't sound out of the question right now, maybe less. Suddenly you are excited again? Thoughts?
