    Double low with my 4.7 has been plenty low enough for me.
    I can only imagine what triple low would be like....

    Yes, I know chain case is not 2.28. So you're putting the 4.7 in front of the 2.28 and stacking it in front of your chain case?

    I think there's 2 first gen DC with triple case (1 for sure use toyota setup), you'll be the first 2nd gen triple case, and one third gen triple case that I'm aware of.

    I'm running them in the same order as @BigMike.
    A/T+2.28+4.70+2.57+Transfer case

    So I'll have these options:

    Do you have any installation details you can share? You seem to have done it without much drama.

    I'm not sure if it has oil in it yet.
    Still waiting for it to be installed :playball:
    I'm bored and just messing around.

    Everyone I talked to told me there wasn't really any particular break in for the gear like there is for differentials.
    Just drive it normally and then change the oil after like 500 miles or so.

    Tacomadad's YouTube video helped me a lot. Overall, pretty straight forward and was covered in his video. The only challenge you're going to have is getting the shifter where you want it

    Just stumbled upon this video and thought it was very informative and detailed for those who plan on assembling a Crawbox themselves
