I understood that the sami t-case was pretty good, and has a ton of gearing options.

Yes that is true, but can it withstand the extra power? If everyone thinks it's strong enough to handle it, that would save me a bunch of time and money. I just hate to distroy a t-case and then not be able to get the (with the gears it already has) $500-600 for it, when that money could be used to replace the possably weaker t-case.

In the last two years I have broken 3-4 barfield joints, 3 ring and pinions, two drive shafts, and one transmission... surprisingly I have not killed the t-case YET, but I will have more power soon..

Plus the new rear axle is centered and the sami t-case is offset, so IF I swapped to for Toyota stuff, it would fix the problem...
