Malburg114's 3Link go fast SAS

Yeah even lower gears for when you shift into 4low. So now I have regular 4low. 4.7 4low and ultra 4 low haha. So I can shift the transfer case into 4wd with 4 low or I can shift the transfer case into 4high the crawl box into 4low. Or put both in 4 low and go like 10 mph and crawl over anything. Easy way to say it is lower gears.

 

The 4wd low in my truck creeps in that gear and makes it up some difficult stuff. ...I can't imagine the stuff you will be able to crawl now with 4 wheel low and another ultra low gear if need be. That's badass!

 

Looking foward to using it! Really looking foward to 4wd in general.

 

I bet man. It's a whole new world. My last pre-runner was fun but when I got my 4x4 it's was a whole new ball game on exploring and technical trail wheeling.

 

Just a little longer...

 

I like the way the crossmember is set up is that a kit or custom setup?
I've seen that ultra low in action its awesome! Its like watching a snail crawl

 

My dad and I made the crossmember. Took us 2 and half days... Haha transfer case and crawl box are mounted to tgs bombproof mounts and then all 4 ends of the cross member are mounted on rubber bushings. Took quite a bit of work and once it was all welded, it warped a little but we still got it in and out several times.

My dads jeep has the ultra low and its BA. But his can also go just front wheel drive and a whole bunch of other things which is pretty cool too. But Ill be able to go slower!

 

Ah I see thats a cool approach to it, looks solid

 

Thanks man. Once I get the skids made, it will be all good to go.

 

Were gunna have to do some trails this summer so I can see it in action!

 

Sweet build. I like how that axle came out. Subbed for more. Looks like you're making some very quick progress. Great work

 

Thanks man! I should be at the overland expo in flagstaff and plan on doing the rubicon in september as well. We will see what else I squeeze in there. Let me know when you go and ill try to make a trip out of it!

 

Thanks man! Little by little its getting there. I thought the axle looked pretty good. Just took forever to weld. Didnt want it to warp. Will be doing something similar to the rear with a diff cover and two trusses since the 3rd is centered.

 

It looks like you went through a lot of welding wire on the thing. Did you weld as tacs and let it cool as you went? or do shorter beads? To prevent warping

 

Started with short tacs but wasnt getting good penetration so then went with short beads. Just did an inch or so max at a time on opposite corners and let it cool to the touch before welding again.

Ive used so much wire and gas so far on this build haha. Just dont want to have to redo anything once its done. Trying to do it all right the first time.

 

damn that looks good

 

Thanks! Can't wait to get it back together!

 

The Con is a possibility for me this summer, depends how many scars Im willing to give my beauty this summer lol. Ill be trying to round up some trucks for a Slick Rock trip hopefully as well as hitting some other TW trips in the norcal region section Ill keep in touch as stuff gets organized

 

Sounds good! Going to try and do the Rubicon when the big toyota rally is going on. I thought it was in September?

 

Hmm ill have to look into the rally. Sounds like a good time
