I have a stock 92 toy. What's the best way to get low end power? duel cases or new 4 to 1 ? please help, my 35's keep killing clucht's(sp)

It all depends on personal preference which way is the best. If you plan on doing mostly rockcrawling a dual case would be best, but costs much more, Plus you have to modify your drive lines and cut a new hole in the floor. For all around wheeling lower transfer case gears would work great, and would be cheaper. Marlin Crawler offers 4.0:1 and 4.7:1 transfer case gears, and dual case adapters. If most of your clutch problems are on the road, you should think about installing 5.29 ring and pinion gears. That would bring you back to stock running ratio with your 35" tires. Which would help you get up those small inclines better.

When you say low end power, are we talking crawling as in torque or street driving. Either way will sort your needs and you can get a dual case adapter for about the same as the 4to1's. But with the duals drivline mods will be nec., but with the duals you could run 2 stock tcases with 2.28 to 1 (x2) until you could afford 4to1's for the rear if you wanted. That would be my choice if you couldn't afford 4to1's and dual cases together.

35's on a Toy? You NEED to do both! I run 5.29's and dual cases. Great on the street and offroad. If anything, I'll go lower gears in one case now. I'd start with the 5.29's, then keep an eye out for a cheap T case.

dual cases more gear options, on the trail

Believe it or not, it acually does allright on the highway, I still use 5th gear once in a while but that's with 4.30 gears.
Anyways, yea my issue is for wheelin, and cheap.
any other suggestions would also be appreciated.
Thanks every one.

I'm running dual cases with stock gearing in each. The thing I really enjoy about the duals is that after an obstacle, I can bump the rear case into 2WD, while leaving the front in 4LO. This makes for easy steering and great trail manners between tough spots.

The least exspensive way would be the 4 to 1 or 4.7 to 1. You almost get the same crawl ratio with the 4.7 as two stock dual cases. But as WJ ZUK said you have to modify both drivelines for the dual case. But i say save for the duals. I love mine.
