all in all it went pretty well. just got to change clocking a little as 231 is a little high. going to try using the oem shift rails making shifters. if that dosen't work how i like i will change to top rails. O & ben you can have the rest back :lol:

D&D machine. the lomax was from jc conversions. u can find them on pirate. i accually got the kit off there used.saved a ton if u dont use the lomax ratio is as follows: 1.1-2.62.1-2.72.1-7.13.1

Thanks. I thought that looked like duff's work. I found him on ebay too.

Yeah, I head already calculated the ratios and decided 10:1 lomax+lo+lo was a bit overkill.

Thanks for the pics

10.1 is overkill i agree but the downside of stock is u only gain a 2.62.1 which i feel is worthless since u keep ur oem 2.72.1 . the upside of the lomax is u get 4.1 in the middle instead.

[BIGBEN]

yeah, the double low range is almost useless. but getting the 2.72:1 and 4:1 is worth it.

But if that's the goal, why not skip the doubler and just add lomax

the lo-max will only give you one low range. sometimes you don't want the 4:1 low, sometimes you do. out on the dunes or trail riding 1:1 is too high and 4:1 is too low. on the rocks 2.72:1 is too high. you sometimes need both, or a different vehicle built for each terrain.

with the doubler you have the best of both worlds.

i myself am planning a 241/205 doubler. this will give me 1:1, 1.96:1, 2.72:1, and 5.33:1. i will have the high range for the few times i drive on the road, a mid low (2.72:1) for when i still want a fair amount of wheel speed, and deep low (5.33:1) when i am in the shit.

I love my 4:1 that is all I ever need. When I get an atlas it will be a 2 speed with 3.8:1. Any lower then 4:1 seems useless unless your running 373 gears in the axles

ya but the 10.1 was a free bonus. i bought the lowmax for dirt cheap. i didnt want the 4.1 only as i like the 2.72 unless ur doing crawl work. i would have loved to have the atlas,however i have less than $300 in all of it doing it this way. that in itself made my mind.
