While we are discussing TH400 transmissions, can anyone answer if full rebuild cost is similar between a TH400/700R4/TH350?

I picked up a used atlas 3.8 (23 spline) last month. I will have to change the input shaft regardless, but your correct, the adapter is another $250 if I go TH400. I already have the adapter if I go with a TH350/700R4.

I met a nice high school age young man last night, he came by the house to buy some parts. It turns out, he is converting his truck to a manual transmission, and putting his TH400 up for sale. Lucky me, it happens I have been keeping an eye open for a TH400 transmission, as a possible solution...

Yes, Facebook. I can't seem to get a link to work, try searching the FB group for "Fitchbox". You will have to read through the comments to see all the pictures.

I seen a really cool concept for "switched" accessory wiring posted in Utah Jeep Family, it's similar to what Carl posted above but for larger items requiring relays. The post creater called it a "Fitchbox", it's a relay box positioned where it makes the most sense for accessories location, and...

What kind of vehicles are people thinking? Is it $500 purchase price with an additional cap on total build?

Good idea, what length did your track bar turn out? Does length matter as much if you can keep it flat at ride height?

Great point, I hadn't even considered this could be an issue down the road.

I'm working on a YJ, currently it's nothing but a frame and tub that I have frame stretched to 109" wheelbase. I'm thinking of leaving the front leaf springs and link the rear, 60 front/14bolt rear, 38-40" tires. I have the axles, I don't have a motor/trans/tcase for it yet. Are the new...

I have a 84 GM 60 I was going to run, the axle will need to be completely gone through. So I have to ask, is this a good builder axle? If I have to completely rebuild it would my money be better invested in something else like a high pinion 60 axle? Do they all cost the same in the end? I'm not...

I'm doubtful I would participate, but this sounds like an absolute riot! Things to consider in addition to land use, 5 mile recreation area is going to be VERY busy every Saturday that the sun shines. Further south-west, the desert hosts multiple desert races through the spring, one about every...

Thanks for the link. Bummer the Dodge 241 with fixed yoke aren't more common, post 110 says they came in 87-93 dodge gassers if anyone knows of one getting parted out.

I'm VERY interested in this approach, I think these are 2.72 ratio? Can you give me more info on how to build this tcase for a passenger drop? What dodge truck models and years tcase can I use? It looks like I can buy a 241 27-spline input from ebay or Bearingkit.com for around $50-120, but I...

I still have the red TJ I wheeled Hanging Tree last May with you guys. That TJ is a lot of fun, but I have a mental block about wheeling it to its potential out of fear of damaging it, silly, I know. I also feel the wheelbase and tire size somewhat limit its fun potential. I did heavily...

This build is going to cost FAR more than I budgeted and saved for, I failed to plan for several items that I now realize should have been assumed going in. I'm now considering a revised two stage plan in a effort to keep progressing and prevent the project from stalling out. Stage 1 being...

I think the best evaluation of your setup would be to try it in as many conditions as possible. With that in mind, maybe I could pickup your jeep in March, and drop it off in November? :D Seriously though, next time I run into you Ill gratefully take you up on this offer, as it looks now it...

mbryson / Pile of Parts, thanks for the comments. I am estimating the cost difference between the two gear options at $700-750, so it's not an huge expense, but worth weighing options. I found a online calculator to compare highway performance of 4.10's & 5.13's. Using a Th400, 40" tires, and...

My gears are trashed, so I guess this provides me the opportunity to go with a Detroit, Yukon, Torq or whatever locker is best. I have read stories of the detroit failing when a shaft breaks, anyone had a Detroit fail? Anyone have experience with both the Detroit and the Yukon in a 60?

Looking for some opinions... Yesterday we tore into the front axle going under my low budget build (not sure I can rightfully refer to it as a "build" because nothing's happening), the 4.10 gears are trashed. So I have a gear decision to make, unfortunately decisions that cost $$$ are not my...

Anyone on this forum a vendor for Torq?
