Topic: Twin cases... triples possible?

[wakkjobb]

If two are good, won't three be better? Is this possible/plausible/useful? Just a thought, don't recall reading anything like it anywhere... but if there's no pictures I can't read it. 

Pics of chicks help a LOT too...

search man. triples have been done. marlin and bigmike run them.

i used to run triples

you have to buy two adapters when you can just get 4.7s and get one adapter, you will be just as low as triples. you'll have a really long front d-line and really short rear one. my  just do duels with 4.7s

my front and rear drive shafts were interchanceable when i had triples

or 4.7s in all 3 cases!

Bigmike posted up a pic that the shop guys mounted 10 cases (?) together.  It was funny and overhung the shop table.    Hey Barney could you shift the last two case for me while your back there. 

Search for the guy that wanted to mate two trannies together!    Never did see any pics.  :bull crap:

slightly off topic, but unbreakable did that long before that guy asked about it. Worked good from what I remember.

the second transmission always fails, too much torque goint through it

I wish Mike would put that video back up of Marlin's truck in L/L/L and fifth gear, and you couldn't see the truck move.  Unless you really looked at the tires.  Almost a waste of $.

I want to see L/L/L 1st gear! They also used to have a great video of the 4x4 test. Where they drove over a wood 4x4 and it showed how the gears went from drive to coast.

on what length WB?

[boggerunner]

i dont remember, it was a 79 shortbed with a 3 link rear. it might of been 109"

I remember when Marlin 1st ran triples pretty much said it's a waste and went back to duals. I even remember that you could still read the triple lettering on his truck under the dual lettering. Of course he has returned to triples I believe to showcase the product. A member of my club and I beat the snot out of everyone in the turtle races at HDR one year with the Marlin Ultimates by almost 12 minutes on the course. Triples would just be silly.

I kind of figured it would be a waste of time/effort... it was a fleeting thought; brought on by seeing a Lenco trans and learning how they work. Didn't think about the driveshafts being stretched/similar either. I sure don't think much...    thanks for the responses though. I'm starting to sell off a few projects in hopes of having ONE to throw money into. First gen X-cab or 4runner w/ SAS  Eventually I'll actually have something worthwhile to post: pics of my 'new' Toyota project
