Topic: best way to mate a 21 & 23 splines cases?

[fnrunner]

just picked up an 85 4Runner with EFI , 5spd & 4.10 gears...wheeled it once & was geared waaaay to high - expecially while going down hill! scary! I'd like to keep the stock r&p for now as it's only got 33s so far...

I've searched some & think I have a unique-enough question....I would like to go with a dual tcase setup & have access to a 87 turbo tcase  - would it be best to just use my stock tcase as the crawler box & the 23 spline as the back case or am I bass-ackwards?? I know I'd need the top shifter conv. for the 23 & most people seem to keep the  fwd shift in the crawler box (check!) & top shift in the back (convert the 23-check!)....and can't forget the new cross memeber...

Also thinking about keeping the stock gears for now...I like to try things stock first so I see the advantages to upgrades first hand.  

Thanks for any input / opinions.......

sounds like you did your research,  yes  the 21 spline you have would be your crawler, then use the complete  23 spline in the rear

its gonna be sweet

Always put the 23 in the rear, so it gets stronger as it gets longer.

how would it be operated on....(dual-tcase set up)..do you mind telling a newbie how it works?

but i do understand how twin-sticked tcase works.
