Topic: Which Atlas Transfer Case

[Jeffy]

Probably not. But the 4.0 and 2.7 would be used a lot! Just not together much. That's really low. I think it's more about choices of gearing options vs having a super duper low gear.

Which interesting enough falls right inline with a NV4500 and an Atlas 5:1.

Lots of ways of achieving the needed gearing that's for sure!

For what its worth my current jeeps have the following setups

1. 2007 Rubicon with stock drive train aside from 4.88 gears and 35s: 4.46 (first gear), 4:1 (low), 4.88(gear) = 87.06 even with the v6 i find myself wishing i had a lower low gear when I did the Rubicon last year. Though I still say the 2.5 4banger has more will to live at low rpm than the 3.8l

2. cj2a proto jeep: 4.3l v6, SM465 (6.55 1st, 3.58 2nd), dana 18 with terraflex 3.15:1 low range kit, 5.13 gears, and 35s. results 105.8 in 1st, 57.85 2nd. I find myself using 2nd gear for most trails in this rig but the low 1st gear is great for playing in the rocks as you can practically momentarily come to a stop without stalling (backlash starts adding up). Obviously with the 4 cylinder it would be nice to be a bit lower if you are crawling in the big rocks / ledges
