I don't think I will ever put a transfer case skid on TITANic. Just seems unnecessary.
Diehard offroader buddy says "no leak=no worries"
Twas but a joke. I have no transfer case.
Ah ha, a good joke indeed. I am blonde and thus, sometimes my ignorance of the obvious can make my derr moments stand out more. 2WD = no t-case. I get it now. Duh.
I like to think I am an arse all the time.
It's on hold. I'm still single. Alas. Have not found anyone worthy to assist me with the project.
Nice Taco Mel.

The Jeep and Taco sitting around your rig are both saying, "you need 35's!"

I now have a manual Pro4X with 3.69. It is night and day from the 3.13 for sure! One day I will regear it to 4.10 or 4.56, too. 1st in 4LO crawled down Red Cone - I actually popped it into second because it was too slow!
So here is my current dilemma: I love my X dearly, but its crap gearing and lack of a locker is becoming increasingly difficult to overcome with the goals I have and with the way I wheel. The c200 and r180 axles are not easy to swap things in and out of. I have done a price analysis to re-gear my X and add a rear locker (either Aussie or e-locker) and neither option is feasible with my income, i.e. need to replace front and rear axles, buy gears for front and rear and get locker for rear (and possibly compressor, depending on locker type). Costs for re-gearing: c200K 4.10s = $574.95 c200K 3.73 = $384.95 No compatible gears for r180. So either get m205 (TS front) or m226 (rear) m205 gears: 3.73 = $519.95 or 4.10 = $309.95 m226 gears: $384.95 for both 3.73/4.10 Add in cost of buying m205, LCAs, extended brake lines, etc. will make this an expensive endeavor. Not to mention getting a locker. I even looked at options to mate our transfer case with another one or even swap it out with a Toyota. None of these options are cost-effective or even remotely simple to do. I am considering the following, elling the X and getting either: a 2004 Jeep WJ (Grand Cherokee) with I6 and selec-trac (d30/d35 axles),i.e. Laredo model, OR a used OR/Pro4X. The main issue with getting the OR/Pro4 is cost. WJs are easily found around here and I can mod the crap out of the axles and it be cost effective. There is a larger aftermarket availability and it is cheaper to modify and be as effective on trail. Xterras, especially OR/Pro4 models are not as common and I may not be able to afford it since I would plan to swap most of my stuff over to it therefore lowering the selling price of my X. Not to mention if I hstayed with the X, I still have to deal with the stupid axles. Ugh. Tough decisions.
