    @DJ KRAZY K - a crawl box is a gear reduction box that goes in front of your transfer case. Your current transfer case has a low gear ratio of 2.57:1. The crawl box has a gear ratio of 4.7:1. This gives you several options for gearing on the trail. You can keep your transfer case in high and the crawl box in high or low and have a 1:1 ratio or a 2.57:1 ratio. Or keep your transfer case in high and put the crawl box in low and have a very popular rock crawling gear ratio of 4.7:1. And you could even put your transfer case in low with the crawl box in low and have the awesome 12.07:1 crawl ratio. All of that is, of course, coming off your transfer case output shaft before the diff.

    My thoughts exactly.
    When every individual lug is grabbing, you can do an awful lot without a locker.

    It sucks man. Getting burnt out over here.

    I'm lucky to live close enough to CnC I can usually get there by 7 and if I leave at 9 I can still get to work early.

    Haven't really had any time to do any work on the truck or take it out and play with it though :ballchain: :angrygirl:
