DUAL Transfer Case Install and TEST!

I remember in the 90's my crew in a line of low-geared Suzuki's slowly walking it down the mountain one night. Not literally walking alongside our crawling vehicles, but because they were all convertibles, SITTING on the roofs and steering with our feet- enjoying the unique view most cars cannot.

I run a dual ultimate set up (2.28 front case, 4.7 rear case) and love it. Best money spent hands down on mods short of a selectable locker. I can run single low 2.28 or double low 4.7 or tripple low 10.716 . Just through the transfer case. This is essentially a 4 speed transfer case. Hi range and 3 low range gears. Only thing I wish I could source/find would be a 2.9-3.5 gear set some where In That range so single low isn't too slow but the tripple low gets nutty.

[@DirtGarage]

Awesome! I really want the 4.7 in one case because its so great in really deep snow. 10.716 sounds wicked!

[@jibaritomx]

Awesome!! The autos in attached to the 3.0s where steaming piles of garbage 😅 Had to get rid of it. We manual swapped the "budget build" pickup too!

[@chrisvia9993]

Could you just get a longer shifter with a bend that clears the sticks or just install a short throw shifter that gets rid of all the slop.

[@davidsandberg7631]

dude i also work in the driveway and my wife bought me 2 pads made for horse stalls. they are thick rubber and hold up to jacks and are much better than laying on rocks and gravel. you might use a board if putting jack stands on the mats, but have used my floor jack on them with no damage. tractor supply or farm stores carry them.

[@definitelynotpewdiepie]

Perhaps a short throw shifter kit for the R150F would be good if you decide later that your sticks interfere to much. Marlin Crawler makes one that is pretty neat.

Good idea! I was looking into those before, the body lift has my shifter a littler lower than I'd like too.

[@InvidiousIgnoramus]

I'd never thought about this before, but would you be enable to engage them in motion? For example, creeping in traffic?

[@DirtGarage]

It can't be shifted into low while in motion, gotta come to dead stop. So certainly not ideal for traffic. Interesting theory though.

[@mandingo9471]

When you say rear case is that the crawl box or the main transfer case?

[@DirtGarage]

The main transfer case.

[@damnitdang]

So if it's crawling on idle. And you want to stop,you can just step on brake? And release to crawl again? Or once you brake do you have to go out of low range?

What does clutch engagement feel like with the duals? Do you have to baby it now?

[@DirtGarage]

Clutch feels fine. Not difficult to use, and I definitely don't want to use much throttle if any when letting out the clutch in double low, so much torque.

Pretty well any gear drive case from 79-95 as long as they are top shift!

[@NARFALICIOUS]

6:14 OK just to confirm... with this dual transfer case setup, when you say both cases are in High, that means you can still run 2WD or 4WD in a 1:1 ratio, right? (not counting transmission and diff)

Yup. 2wd or 4x4 in any transfer case position. High - high, high - low, low - low. Doesn't matter.

[@jsutton9142]

I’m not much of a mechanic but I love the solid axle pickups. I used to have an 84xtra cab that I never should have sold and recently picked up an 85 22r that I’m loving so far but still getting a feel for it as it’s more heavily modified than my 84. My question is about gearing vs crawl box. I use my pickup as a feed truck on a W Montana ranch that gets a lot of snow. As far as I can tell it’s currently stock gearing, and it’s on 35x12.5 with a six inch lift. I put it in 4low and let it crawl while I pitch hay from the back. The gearing and larger tires make it too fast in 1st gear 4low. In terms of what will be easier on the truck and also easier to complete would you change to 5.29s or install a crawl box? Found your channel when I picked up the 85 and am really enjoying it. Thanks

[@DirtGarage]

Question is how does it feel on the highway? I kept my axle ratio stock because with the 37s and V8 it feels great and would not benefit from lower gears. To best place to re gear is in t cases, because t case gears don't effect road driving, and provide a much lower ratio than just re geared diffs would.

[@jsutton9142]

Good info, thank you. She may never see the highway again. Just want to make a snow beast ranch truck. My plan is to hopefully find a decent condition stock xtra cab RE and go with 2 to 3 inch lift and 33s for a daily driver.

Hey bud! Love this video. Hey question: You quickly showed your dual case setup with triple sticks. I currently have a single case with dual sticks, and I want to add a second case. What I'm still trying to figure out in my head is how you were able to get both of your t-case sticks right next to each other in your cab? The architecture of the dual cases means that the second case's stick is set behind the front case's stick....But you managed to get them right next to each other. Can you explain? Thanks mate! From one vintage Yota fanatic to the next, I love your channel!

[@DirtGarage]

I am running a custom made triple sticks setup on my duals. The rear case has twin sticks, but the top of the sticks are chopped off, then used small linkages attaching the rear twin sticks to a set of sticks mounted on either side of the front shifter. If you look up Radesigns triple sticks it is essentially like that.
