    Why not just get an arb? Only have to set backlash when changing the carrier basically. That plus the arb plumbing.

    Could use a co2 tank as well, pretty sure I've seen them run off ones from a paint ball gun.

    That's one way to fit more rigs on the trailer! She's looking good.

    On another note. It's turning out to be a pain in the ass to buy a crawl box. Wyatt just let me know that Marlin is about 45 days out from having any stock and Low Rage says they'll take a little over a month to get one together, and that's with Trail Gear 4.7's. Wyatt is also saying that the Marlin combos will be going up in price.

    These guys are making it hard for me to give them my money.

    The 4spd atlas is starting to look like an option, but I'll need to cut out one of these kidneys first.

    Marlin supply issues is the reason why I'm flipping my front axle and leaving the lefty rather then sell the lefty and build new duals.

    The amount of money i dropped on dual cases and the eventually building a lefty i could have bought a 4spd atlas.

    Buy once, cry once? The guy at Low Range, who has actually been talking to me today, is looking into the lead times on the 4speed.

    Try high angle driveline, that's where my friend got his 4spd and he got a good deal on it, plus Jess is awesome.

    This ^^^ i bought my atlas from Jess just make sure that you know what input you're getting my taco needed the short and i got the long one which made me by a spacer. Also if you're in a rush just better give up on that. i waited over a month to get mine due to me ordering at the same time as KOH.

    Thanks guys, I'll give them a shout.

    I'm not in a rush, but I would like to know that I'll actually get what I paid for. I've already paid for the crawl box once and been refunded.

    I do want to have something installed before Jambo in May. That's what I'm shooting for.

    For a crawl box or an Atlas that I would have to reconfigure? I've been watching, but haven't seen anything pop up yet.

    I do need to educate myself some more on what exactly I would need though. I'd hate to buy something that won't work or that will end up costing more than new to reconfigure to my specs.

    Technically I could buy a top shift transfer case and build the crawl box myself, but that also hinges on getting the adapter and gears from inchworm or marlin. Hell, there are two top shift cases for $50 on pirate at the moment, but I'm guessing that the Marlin's holdup with inventory isn't the availability of top shift cases.
