Dual Case H/L 4wd?
Scott in Bellingham replied to tturnpaw's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
the weak link is the axles that said I wouldnt go threw all the work to get lower gears, yes I have done it , I have found that a good EJ stuffed under the hood and some 27" tires solves the low gear issue and is alot more easier if you want lower gears and bigger tires get some stronger axles ( probably not Subaru), if I did do it again I think the reduction should be between the engine a EJ or course and the stock dual range maybe a wide toothed belt like they use on the airplane prop shaft reduction setups -
heres some inspiration
