We are working on getting the price down. We currently only have a very limited quantity on hand, so the price reflects a demand rather than a supply. Stay tuned to the announcements forum for updates
Yes, the no oiling issue. I don't know how the low speed cage bearing is every getting oiled!! From a mechanics of materials stand point, rifle drilling increases the strength of a shaft. I don't know why they omitted it.We are working on getting the price down. We currently only have a very limited quantity on hand, so the price reflects a demand rather than a supply.

I was planning on running the Longfield output but didn't know about they were only designed for a trail truck. Mine still sees some street. Guess I'll run the stock output for now until I break something and then figure out what to do next.
i broke mine last year less then an hour into the rubicon for the round-up. it was a bummer. i think i twisted it at the hammers a few months earlier then finished it off at the rubicon. i also went from 4.88 diff gears to 4.10s so that didnt help any.
in my case I had the truck all bound up, i guess it was bound up kinda bad? but it didn't feel like it took alot, let the clutch out, motor groaned down and *snap*, thats the sound of a bad day
he has a 22re/w56/dual with 4.7's with 1 ton axles on 38.5's
I would call and ask, I have never heard from anyone else that it is not just a copy of the stock output. Just because it isnt "rifle drilled" doesnt mean it wont oil the same as stock
Ok, the Transfer case only has one oil pump, and it's sole duty is to pressurize the outputshaft with oil. Once the oil is inside the output shaft, it only has one direction to go and that is to the front of the shaft where the low speed gear cage bearing is. Without this, the cage bearing is a sitting duck high above the oil level in the transfer case with no means of lubrication. Bobby Long is very fortunate that in high range torque is not transferred through the reduction gears, and that is why they are not an immediate failure.... yet.But anyone cruising around in low range with a Bobby Long output shaft is risking burning out the low speed cage bearing in the transfer case. Toyota went through a lot of development putting that oil pump system with the two oil splash trays and the oil pump seal for a very, very good reason.Therefore, it cannot possibly oil "the same as stock" because you have eliminated the oiling system. You might as well remove the entire oil pump and then go on a road trip. Have fun!BigMike
Further explanation of why putting longs output in completely eliminates the oil pump....
