Hi Nathan,
Great job you did with your NP231 doubler, so great in fact I looking at doing something similar but retaining the Paj transfer case. i want to keep the Paj case to keep the Super Select option (you guys call it ACtive-Trac)
I have taken interest in this unit http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=681243 made by NW Fab . they actually make 2 units, one being about 2" shorter than the other one.
I am interesed in the shorter unit as a preliminary look under the Paj seems to indicate that there may be a clearance issue if the transfer case gets moved back say 10 " which is that would need to happen if i used their larger unit. I am assuming that I would need 2 adaptors (front & back of crawler) at least 1/2" thick, which would bring the length out to about 10".
If I were to use the shorter unit then it MAY , just may fit in.
The probem of course is the crossmember that hold the torsion bars , its in the way!..
Given that you have actually been there & done all this, what do you reckon is the max that the case can be moved back before you have problems hitting that cross member?
Could it go back 10" , could it go back 6-7"??
The other option may be to modify the cross memeber by cutting out the middle bit & welding in an insert that is lower tha the ends of the cross member, something with a bit of a dog leg in it. I might then have to get it engineered, i dont know.
Anyway mate would appreciate any help you could give, cheers
