Went to a Bigger Blazer
1 Attachment(s)
So my biggest blazer to date landed at the shop the other night.
Did some trading/swaping with another board member grendel. (thanks John) He built this monster, one ton running gear, cross over steering, 4whl disc brakes, twin t-cases, built turbo 400...the list goes on and on. :c2: Currently sitting on 38's w/5:13 final gear ratio. Guess it's time to run some trails with it. :D Here's one pic, just goofing on a small dirt hill. |
:phat:
|
that sounds like one hell of a truck
|
sweeeeet
|
Did you install that shifter?
BTW, final gear ratio in low/low/low is: 2.48 (transmission)x2 (torque converter)x2 (t-case one)x 2 (t-case two)x 5.13 (axle R+P)= 101.7792 Considered to be about perfect for crawl ratio with an automatic. Of course, you can switch off anyone one of those, but the 5.13. |
sweet ride... :metal:
|
I already miss it.
|
People are going to start having tire envy with us big boys. Sweet ride!!
|
Congrats, Kurt!
... but I'm going to have to call 'Poser Pic' on that one! :metal: |
Nice truck! Might be a greenhorn question, but how does a guy tie in the second transfer case? Congrats- :bowtie:

:haha: total poser pic :haha: Kids liked it though. Gave each one a ride in it which of course included climbing the poser bump. ;) Have a couple odds and ends to clean up before I can wheel it but then I'll take it out and get happy. P/O (grendel) kept the gauge cluster of after market goodies (it was cool/worth keeping) so I need to send him back the wires/fittings to go with those and install another harness/guage set. |
Two transfer case's ---help me with what, how and why that works??
|
the doubler, or two transfer cases uses the range box from a np 203 with the chain portion removed, and a custom made plate bolted to the back, then a np 205 is coupled to the back of the plate. A np 203 has a 2.01:1 low range, and the np 205 has a 1.96:1. When both the the range box from the np 203, and the np 205 are in low range, you have essentially a 4:1 low range. This is better for rock crawling and so on.

this is what it looks like

Been messing with the little/detail stuff some.
Changed out the grille while I was at it. To be able to go play, I still need to install the B&M shifter and do some final welding. Need to install a wiring harnes also. Course having it licensed would be a good idea too... :rolleyes: French, the doubler's pretty cool...talk about having a low gear! |
