I can swap to a pass drop 44 for very little cash. Just drop my gears & locker in it, everything from the spindles out on the waggy flat tops.
I have more options with a pass drop axle:
toy case
dual toys
D300, stock or 4:1
203/d300 doubler
203/205 doubler
I hate to spend the $1k on a 4:1 for my 231. But it would be the least amount of down time.
I am going to swap in a NP435. I am just trying to figure out what my shortest tcase options are with adapters and all.
I have already checked into the D20 & cold duck options, those get high$$ fast.
I know the toy boxes are the most affordable, thats why i am here researching it.
I could easily swap in the 4.7 case behind the 435, but then i lose any gear that would give me some wheel speed for situations we run into here in the east. Thats why i am considering a dual set up.
If i was loaded i would just go with a NV4500/2.72Klune/4.3 ATLAS, but i am not Mr. Moneybags.
did someone say beer.......
