Outer Limits 4x4 Board

i am just wondering bout twin transfer set ups wat are the pro's and cons of them and wat would it be like in a 4b that is me every day car

they are good, but its a question of $$$$ you have to ask yourself - what am i trying to achieve here? as for everyday driving it would be fine. off road great. but you have more weight and more things to keep up.

won't do anything for highway gearing (depending on the application) but very reliable, haven't had one let go yet. pm me for more info as i do make them.

I have seen one let go at a comp, not pretty.

Having said that mine are in the shed waiting to be put in just been waiting for the triple shifter on pirate4x4 to become available looks great but taking forever.

shortened tailshafts I remember being talked about in the past can be a pain with angles and viabrations etc.

yeah depending what your looking at, shortened rear shaft and longer front shaft is an issue worth considering.
as is the hole in the floor depending on vehicle.

i got my dual GQs 2nd hand with very little use.
they were basically the same price as a set of reduction gears.

but came already fitted and working.

thats the trick, I think I remember maybe cheezy talkin bout them yonks ago when Mrks first got em out, that buyin em is cheap, making them work fitted is stupid $ unless dedicated comp truck.

The only GQ one letting go that I know of was because of a lack of oil

Its clearance issues with the front shaft and cross member I think. I do`t know with the GQ`s.

The one i saw was a Hilux and it was the bolts that hold the two cases together had sheered

I've got duals in my GQ LWB,
have scolloped out the front cross member to accomodate the front shaft.
I think it is a good unit, its a marks kit and wasn't hard to put together or install.
I have both the shifters coming up at the same original spot, the front case lever likes to jump out of high range though.
I need to notch the lockout plate so the oin stays in.

another alternative in the front is to use a jackshaft and bolt it to the cross member.
a hilux one was the one i chose for cost.
but i believe a commodore and several other models also use them.

thus far it seems to work?

also, if you added gearing to one of the cases too, you would have even more ratios to choose from and super low reduction.
-i am abit lucky though im running an auto so that seems to aid crawling.

ahhh....don't autos and dual transfers rock......

We sheared the custom shaft at the OBC, Marks 4x4 said it had never happend before, still apain in the arse to pull apart and replace.
