I was going to but after re-thinking it I figured I'd save the doubler for my trail rig. I really don't need to be crawling THAT slow in this truck for any reason and I'd prefer not to have another set of gears robbing horsepower on the street.

i like having all the options i can! my truck honestly is more of a mud truck than anything else but when i do get it on some rocks i know a doubler would make my life so much easier. not to mention everyone wonders why i would have 3 sticks but have an auto tranny... they flip out when they see hardcore stuff like that (they are sheltered) lol-cutts-
ya know, i just read your sig at the bottom and i had forgotten just how close our rigs are! other than body stlye and year we are basically rolling the same setup!

I'm building that truck to go FAST, not slow. 
I just don't see the need for it as I'll never take that on anything that requires a 4:1. That's why I'm building a beater rig and I'll double that case. I'll have horsepower o plenty here soon but I'd rather not have it eaten up in another gear set that I'd never use. Imagine that . . . me being practical. 
But then again it's me we're talking about here. I might get drunk, decide it's a good idea after all, and then tear the truck apart. By the time I sober up and realize what I've done the t-case is laying on the work bench so I may as well finish the job.

I was going to make some smart *** comments about the price including a jar of vaseline but I won't. Did you try HighAngle or anyone else? That price is way out of line. 
I thought $600-$800 for a custom shaft was high . . . This truck is for the mud but I'll do a fair amount of street driving with it. I was hoping to turn the pinion up today but haven't had the time and have to work through until my St. Louis trip so it may be a while before I can get to it.

*Comes out of his hiding place*
When is the St. Louis trip? I'm starting to think I need to head down there so you can laugh at my 30" tires. And my Smallblock. Manual Tranny. Non-NP TC...ok so you can just laugh at my half ton. =P Mine might be louder...bout all I can hope for. I was gonna make a thread to ask when the trip was again..but I didn't want to be an ***. This is assuming I can actually FIND where momudder lives.
