    Advanced Adapters makes the Atlas, which you can get an adapter to fit your tranny. Good luck breaking that shit. All 300M internals

    It dried up enough and we stuffed the ground with twigs and some more wood, not to mention a heavy foot

    No problem. Sounds like you have some local to you. I'd check with Marlin crawler about getting a rebuilt case, or as someone mentioned above, there is always advance adapters and go with a atlas.

    @Cristiang19

    I'd advise heavily against an Atlas. Unless you are going to do a lot more than just replace the T-case with the Atlas.

    Sure, Atlas is bulletproof. But a J-shift t-case is actually not a weak (chain drive) T-case. If you're stsying with an IFS setup the Atlas is a waste of around $2500... the T-case will be WAY stronger than the entire rest of your front drive train.

    Seriously, this is just my 2 cents, but I'd get you another J-shift and spend that coin elsewhere. Only way I'd go Atlas if it were running a SAS'd front end.

    Ahh, I plan on long travel in the future so this helps alot in my choice. Thanks I'll look for a j-shift compatible with my truck

    Just getting a stock t-case is honestly a much better route. Cheap and easy fix. The chain drive t-cases are super strong for what they are, but from my experience, and the direction I'm taking my build, I wish I would have just saved a little more money and bought an Atlas 4speed instead of going with dual cases I currently have. Just my 2cents
