OK, I saw one at the Melt, heard the guy had some for sale.. then completely forgot who had them!!!
Was it Stan??
How much?
When can I get a kit?
Anyone know? It's this or a 2wd low from RRO, and I would loads rather have the Twin Stick..
-
stan is making them
-
yep, 37kicker (stan)makes them, and they are bitchin

Stan cant get online right now. He has a new internet service and lost his password or something. I will try to get some pics for you guys in the near future.

are the T cases on 2nd gens similar enough or the same as 1st gens? what I'm getting at is I wouldn't mind a twin stick either
-
I'd like to know more about the twin sticks as well. I gather this is another method of gearing to allow larger tires, is this correct?
-
Nope, it allows you to have 2WD in low range
and shift from 2 hi 4 hi and 4 lo 2 lo without going
through the whole T-case shifting pattern
-
Also, it allows you to have the front engaged, and the rear disengaged.. so you can do burn turns (lock the rear brakes, and pull yourself around with the fronts engaged..) great for tight trails and rock crawling.
-
Ok, that sounds interesting, is it a complicated set up?
Just curious, it's way too expensive for me but the Calmini website offers rock crawling gears for the T-case. If you had a set of these in then would you be able to run larger tires 33-35".
If you put these in could you still drive it at normal highway speeds in 2 wheel hi?
Thanks

wow, you can have the front engaged and the back disengaged? holy crap, what a versitle setup. someday I think I should do this to my GV
-
The Calmini gears do not effect your 2WD speeds. In 4Lo, you can easily run 33 and probably 35's. I have 31's with the 4.24 T-case and 5.62 Dif gears and I litterially idle up stuff that before took a heavy right foot to tackle.
-

Thats actually not entirely true. The Calmini t case gears do not effect the high range. If you have a twin stick you can shift into 2 low. The tracker case does not allow you to disengage the rear, even with a twin stick.

Oh..... really? Then what is the point of having the twin stick? Why would it be better than just, say, the RRO kit that alters the shift pattern of the single selector?
-
oh, bummer, it would be cool if the twin stick did give that much selectability. on old army jeeps I heard they have twin stick and can disengage the rear or front. that means if you break spider gears or something in the back and you can still roll on that axle you can just put it in front wheel drive and get home
-

It allows you to select the range and drive you
want without going through the whole pattern
-
I like the idea of the twin stick way better than the question mark pattern that the single stick gives. Being able to disengage the rear would be nice but I can live without that.
So....... anyone going to jump in here with a price? ??? ;D
-
hmm i was just gona get the gears from trail tuff

If you are getting gears, then it would be silly to not spend another 100 bucks or so and get either the twin stick, or RRO's 2 wheel low kit.
Yeah, I was hoping there was a way to make it a true twin stick, but I have never even seen the inside of the tracker case... yet... So I just assumed.. lol... I know better than to assume.. I thought.
Anyway, yesh, it would be nice to not have to shift through the whole pattern.. and the twin stick definitely has a cool factor all to it's self.
One way or the other, when I do a clutch, or gears, or for some other reason I have the tranny/case out, I will do one or the other mod for sure. ESPECIALLY with the front locker that is going in soon. It will be invaluable to be able to run it in 2wd low then.. avoiding accidental breakage, and wear and tear on the fragile aluminum front componants.

Doesn't Trail Tough have a rear driveline disconnect kit?
-
For Sammy maybe, but not for Kicks, unless they just came out with it.

back on line , thank mike for answering the ??'s stan
