Samurai Build (Part 15) Transfer Case, Gears, Cradle, Output Shaft & Shifter
Рет қаралды 40,368
Күн бұрынThis part has been the one I've been most excited about, hands down! When your engine only has 60hp you've to find other ways to compensate. This is it! 6.4:1 Sumo gears, HD Front Output shaft, Twisted TT Shift Kit and the Low Range Off Road EOS cradle. Yeah buddy! It took a while to save up for these parts, but I think they will be well worth the wait!

Love the videos! Just installed the EOS Low range transfer case in my samurai too. Tough install but super satisfied once everything bolted up. Look forward to the upcoming build vids.

Agree having a low 2wd is nice. I want to add dual shifters to my Toyota transfer case so I can differentiate between the two. Are you still active duty?

Hey just found your channel and it’s awesome! I’m In the middle of building a samurai and was wondering how did theses gears in the transfer case perform on the highway?

What size drive shaft spacers did you use? I did a spring over on my samurai and i can’t decide on 3/4 or 1 inch spacers
@FortuneOffRoad 2 жыл бұрын
It sounds like either would work in your situation. I would go either the 3/4" for more wiggle room. In the back I have a 3/4", front output has a 1/2" and front pinion has a 1.5". kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q919kq6cyqm-iY0.html

I have stock Toyota axles that I’m installing right now, just having a hard time deciding between 4.9:1 and 6.4:1. I will be using 33s. I mostly use it as daily, and would like to trail on the weekends every now and then. Can I have your opinion on what gearing I should go with?
@FortuneOffRoad 2 жыл бұрын
I think the 4.9 will do better on the road but the 6.4 will do better off road. Unless you're doing rock crawling there might not be good reason to go 6.4. If I was tou I'd probably go 4.9 👍🏻

What's your opinion on gearing for 30" and 31" tyres ?
@FortuneOffRoad Жыл бұрын
Stock gearing on 29" tires is 3147 rpm at 65 mph. To gear the diffs to match that with a 31" would be difficult. 4.57s would put your rpms at 3606 at 65 mph. I think transfercase gears would be best. That way you can get for example 6.4:1 in low range and your highway rpms at 65 will be 3444 which is slightly over your stock rpms at that speed, which in my opinion would be perfect. 🤙🏻

So what is the difference in the 6.5 and 6.4 besides .1% lower?
@FortuneOffRoad 2 жыл бұрын
With the 6.4 people seem to have better luck with them not grenading. They say they run quieter and are higher quality than the 6.5 because they are made in Japan and not China. I've only ever ran thr 6.4

New subscriber with a couple questions… can you shift your twisted tt case between 4 low and 2 low, on the fly? If so, is it tricky to hit these shift positions? I really appreciate the info you are posting, thx.
@FortuneOffRoad 2 жыл бұрын
Welcome! Ya know, I haven't tried. 4wd and 2wd are separated in this pattern. I have tried to go between 2L and 2H on the move and it didn't sound good. So now I just come to a stop. The real benefit of this kit is the 2L option, which I use all of the time. 🤙🏻
@Nic26482648 2 жыл бұрын
@@FortuneOffRoad As I understand, the high & low range are non synchronization, or crash gears. To change from one to the other, on the move, you need to have the correct revs, for the gears to mesh. Similar to a normal, old fashioned crash gearbox. With this understanding and some practice, you are able to change from high to low, and low to high, on the move.

Doing a 6.5 transfer case rebuild myself debating on doing the 2 low option ...don't want to regret not doing it later since I'll already have it apart...how often are you in 2 low and would you do it again if you had the option?
@FortuneOffRoad 3 жыл бұрын
Because I don't have power steering, I'm in 2 low the majority of the time. I put it in 4 low for the hard stuff and chill in 2 low during the easier parts of the trail I use it a lot. 🤙🏻

ngl, I'm gonna REALLY agitate the Ford and Suzuki community the day where I take a suzuki transfer case and put it in my mustang. My reaosn: So I don't get stuck in the snow and so I can still keep my gas mileage lol. And I like to turn people's heads. The moment they find out that my seemingly stock mustang is 4wd, they'll be asking me, "How in the hell did you do that? And why did you do it?" And my answer will be the forementioned, "Like to have traction in snow and I want to keep my gas mileage." lol
