What t-cases are you guys running?

[spiderman]

What t-cases are everybody running? What mods to them? What tranny? I am thinking more along the lines of conversion t-cases,( you swapped a different one in) but tell me what you have nonetheless. Also, what do you think of your current setup? Thanks for any input guys.

Atlas 3.8 with the 32 spline front output, custom drilled to clock flat. What do I think of it? It's the best t-case currently available on the market, hands down.

203-205 doubler...cant give any feedback yet as I have yet to run it

 

[Herzog]

Atlas 4.3, 32 spline front output. Behind a 4.0L and AW4. Works great.

 

[Spork]

Dana300 going to get a 4-1 kit when I rip out the engine.

Atlas 3.8 Behind a 3 Speed Auto in my TJ
I second the motion that its the best hands down...

 

[SAMI]

i got you guys beat! zuk case with 4.16:1 gears.... that's right!

Calmini 6.5 in zuk case

 

[mbryson]

.......currently 242..........


..........I'll start with a 241 in the 'new' rig. Going to an Atlas as soon as I can.

sm 420 with a scout 300w/4to1

like it alot and it serves it purpose

what makes the atlas the best? Not saying it isn't but you can get the same thing, essentially, in a D300 for cheaper.

not necesarily...if you want a drivers drop you have to get a clocking kit, plus adapters, plus new 4:1 gear set and you start getting pretty close to the cost of an atlas...plus with the atlas you have many different options for input and outputs...

 

[troutbum]

oh yeah and I am running 203/300

 

[Cody]

just sold my 231 w/ 4:1 gears, HD fixed out put, HD chain/forks, etc.

Atlas 3.8:1 is on its way

The atlas may be more versatile (change inputs, more applications), but in a given application why would it be better (hands down) than say a 32 spline d300.

 

[greenjeep]

D300 twin stick, behind a T400. Never had any problems.

 

[jcruiser70]

465/205 in my cruzah, would like to go a little lower tho, maybe an atlas...hmmm...

 

[SammiGrrl]

Calmini 6.5 in zuk case

Same here.

I think the internals are a lot larger in an atlas too. I can't confirm this though.

Other differences include cast iron casing (D300) and strong aluminum casing (atlas) which I imagine could cause some weight differences... But I'm not sure that matters for most applications anyways.

Atlas is readily available in both driver and passenger outputs.

That's about all I can think of. I would rather sink money into a solid atlas than piece together a D300 personally.

The Atlas is more durable than a 300. Not too long ago on a trail who's name cannot be mentioned a certain Dana 300 equipped CJ ended up in front high and rear low (again). Not a pretty sight. By the time you buy a dana 300 (In questionable condition because it's 20-30 years old), pssibly rebuild it, flip it, clock it, upgrade both output shafts (the front is still not readily available), regear it, and twin stick it, you could have bought a brand new Atlas built exactly how you want it. Oh, and your 300 is still not as strong! The Atlas is the king of transfer cases.
