Outer Limits 4x4 Board

just wondering if any one has used a rear drive disconect on a zook transfer and if so is there any picks or has any one fabed there own up. thanx
mick

trailtough sell one, that'd be cheeper than fabbing($US350 i think)

Mitch

thanx for the pick. ive been looking at sites all night and they were all around the 1200 mark so thanx will look at trail tough. very nice bit of gear to.

There is ABSOLUTELY no comparason between the Trailtough unit and the Yuri4x4.com unit.

The Yuri one we have on the buggy is tight and smooth, the Trailtough one is loose and sloppy with a little factory freeplay.

I've got the TT unit on the Zook, it was cheap, freight for me is free so i thought i'd give it a go. It won't be long before it does go and get replaced with a Yuri version.

Don't you have 1.0ltr CV's anyway? You do know what full lock, front drive only with oversized tyres will do to Zook diffs on rocks????

hope fully wont have for much longer.
wouldnt even consider it with the current set up.
yeah the yuri one definetly looked the goods.
but do you recon the trailtough one is ok for the price?
thanx
mikc

you gunna be using it on the road? eg driving at 100km/h?

i built one a little while ago works awsome
but dont think it would be good at highway speeds

it cost me $100 in machining costs

so if you have the parts lieing around its a fairly cheap mod

I have put a couple of trips on my TT one - it is quiet at all speeds and does what it says on the box. I don't think I will be able to break it.

I think they are unbeatable for the $$$.

wont be doing anthing over about 40ks.
redzook do you have any picks of the one youve made.
i can get acces to a few machening tools.
thanx

dont have any pics

but will get some this weekend for you

I think Rhett made one by adding a front output selector to the rear of the case. Cant remember if it worked, try PM'ing him, or maybe he will see this and post up.

$100 for machining


$0 dollars for some nasty tig welds

mine worked a treat and still is working great. I didn't realy get any pics of when it was happening as it was secret squirrel stuff. It has been one of my most valuable mods when it comes to comps. I still get a big grin on my face when doing a front dig

could you give a brief explanation how you made it?? would be greatly appreciated.........
thanks

just imagin the speedo drive being repaced with a front output with its own lever. So with twin sticks I have three levers coming out of the same case and it is about 30mm longer that a stock case.

I don't know about that. I think it would go quite nicely with a twin stick in mine

i'll let you look at my twin-stick in envy

mine is not fully bolt on. It has a custom counter shaft and housing. It was still not a cheap thing to do if you got to pay for tiging and machining.

Not bagging what you have done at all Rhett - I looked at doing it that way myself, but the sierra front output dog teeth are much, much smaller than the trailtough teeth.

As I said, I am sure that the TT one is nowhere near as nice as the Yuri product, but I don't think I'll be able to break it. If I did, I can swap it out in 10 minutes.

I might have one for mine soon

sticks are overrated switches are where its at

hey steve out of curiosity do you know any one that has broken any front outputs on a zook

I have broken everything else from strenthened lux cvs, tailshalfs and gears but never a front output and if I did I have another in my toolbox.
Yuri done all the machining for me on mine anyway as he is a close friend. I could have got one of his units for not much more than mine cost me.

When mine was made the biggest worry was the cut and shut countershaft. as this has my series 4 rh hanging off them.

Rhett wrote:hey steve out of curiosity do you know any one that has broken any front outputs on a zook

No, I don't, and that's the interesting thing - the TT disconnect is about 4 times bigger than the front output - so the chances of breaking a TT disconnect would have to be zero.

As I said before, I looked at using a front output too, but for the price and ease, the TT disconnect wins hands down.

Not knocking what you have done at all.
