So basically it's that eternal question... what to do. I've got a buddy who's acquired a bunch of old Parts for free. He's got a Taco and most of the parts are for Second Gen Trucks/1st Gen 4Runners and mostly useless to him. So he's going to give me a almost whatever I want. There's 2 T-Cases, a Tranny, 2 Rear Axles, etc. But I digress.
So of course upon hearing that I'm getting 2 free T-Cases my first thoughts are DUAL SETUP! As as I'm sure others have been in this position before. I thought I would ask for some advice.
![Help! :help:](https://board.marlincrawler.com/Smileys/marlin/help.gif)
I have never torn down a T-Case before but I figured what better time to learn? LOL I'm assuming it's going to be the most common stuff out there 21 spine, etc. I started looking at what it would cost for the Dual Adapter vs. the cost of getting a Dual Ultimate Crawler. Currently I have no idea what condition the T-Cases are in but I'm betting they've been sitting for awhile and are in need of a rebuild.
Would it be cheaper for me to do it all myself? or is this something that's going to be such a pain in the butt and probably going to cost more in the long run I'm better off just getting the Ultimate Crawler from the beginning and save myself a lot of headache?
A 3rd option I was considering was just getting the adapter and running them stock and learn the in's and out's of Dual Cases then eventually upgrade to a Dual Ultimate or rebuilding it all. I understand that it's a bit more complicated than that. But if you have any advice to give I would love to hear it! Thanks guys!
