Doubling question

[tiredtiretodd]

What t cases are good for doubling? For instance if I already have a NP203 what could I double it with? Or should I look for a couple other ones to use? I have a buddy with an NP205 that I could get for fairly cheep and I'm most likely going to get it. Any and all help is appreciated! Learning as I go.

Not to question your means but are you planning on doing a lot of rock crawling or pulling yourself up trees?

Most people who double up do it because they require a SUPER low gear to do such activities.

you take the range box from a 70s np203 which is just the back half of the 203. and you take a np205 and buy the expensive ass kit from ORD and combine the two

 

[kleedus]

the range box of a 203 is the front part.

I have a ord doubler I bought a rebuilt 203 range box with the adapter installed on it and a triple stick shifter from them for less than 1,400

I just looked it up, doubler kit is 800bucks, triple stick kit is 300bucks, and depending on where your located finding said transfercases

so I guess looking at the big picture 1500bucks for one of the most bad ass transfer case setups you can run isnt so bad

how much does an atlas cost?

 

[kleedus]

the easiest 203 to find is the turbo 350/203 combo

the 400/203 is harder to find but still out there

the hardest to find is the sm465/203 combo

I just so happen to have multiple 350/203 combos and two 400/203 combos and 1 sm465/203 combo

the doubler kit uses a turbo 400 205 race track t-case to bolt on the 203 range box

the turbo 400 205 is hard to find but you can convert any 205 to the 400 32 spline input

I won't be doing any crawling right away but I do plan on it in the not too distant future. I live really close to Hollister where they hold the Top Truck Challenge. My dream is to one day be able to enter the challenge.

I do believe the atlas transfer case would serve you better

I actually paid $2400 for the truck so maybe that's beyond my pay grade! I talked to my buddy today and he said he'd sell me his 205 for $300 I tried to talk him down but I know it's worth more and it's a working T case so I'm sure I'm getting a deal. He actually said $400 to start with and I frowned so he brought the price down to $300.

hate to say it but 3-4 for a np205 is retail pricing

I bought one a month ago for 100bucks

Id keep on searching

Yep, I'll check Pick-n-Pull and see what they have. Worst case scenario I'd have to bring tools and pull it out myself.
