so how are they setup tim? is it like a splined gear that goes onto the output shaft, then the flange that the tailshaft bolts to, has a matching gear cutout in the centre to allow it to slide on and off the one on the output shaft, thus disconnecting rear drive? :?

i didnt get a close look but i belive

u just pull the rear flange off and slide it on in place
and then it just has a collar that either locks it in drive
or pulls it back so it just spins

lol if you get what i am trying to say

sounds like we're both trying to say the same thing :lol: :D

now all i need to find out is if vitara and sierra trasfer cases have the same output shaft splines and diameter......which i'm pretty sure they do? :?

I have just finished making my own from a cut down case. the only dissadvantage is it is a bit longer than the trailtough one.

Its at suziwork (mud4bs) at the moment I took it down to show him and left it there as I didn't want to drag it though the night run. I don't know if he can take pics for me. It just looks like a minny tranny though.
