Advance Adapters has met the needs of the 4x4 community since 1971. A legacy product for 1941-71 Jeep 4x4s with Model 18 Spicer transfer cases is the (Warn-design) Saturn Overdrive, which Advance Adapters has manufactured and improved since 1991. The unit fits neatly at the PTO opening and provides a 25% planetary overdrive for highway use with split shifting between transmission gears.
Fast forward to the contemporary 5-speed overdrive, heavy duty aluminum case Tremec TR4050 4x4 transmission that is now available through Advance Adapters. A replacement for the NV4500, these new TR4050 transmissions feature a synchromesh 6.16:1 first gear plus 5th overdrive. Rated 600 lb-ft torque, the TR4050 is an ideal conversion for a gasoline V8 into a 4x4 Jeep®, Land Cruiser, early Bronco or 4x4 light truck. Steve Roberts walks us through this popular conversion strategy.
