There have been several threads on it since it debuted at the EJS in '08.

The 1st gear ration on the 42 is 2.84? What does this help? Also the transfer case has a 2.75:1 ratio in 4low

stumpjumper_09 · **Posted:** Sat Jul 11, 2009 5:05 pm

reduction at the tail before transfer case.

You can also look at the Klune V's. Waaaay back when there was a write up in a magazine about someone who put a Klune David under-drive in a KJ.

The advantage to the Rubicrawler though is that you don't change the length of you drive line. You keep your stock length drive shafts. With the Klune V you have to get shorter drive shafts.

And no one wants a shorter shaft. All kinds of problems there.

can't find the one's for the KJ....only the JK :roll:

That's expensive alright.... there goes about 20 of my paychecks :lol:

BJB, a 42RLE and 231 combo is a 42RLE and 231 combo. It should just bolt up

That's pretty cheap for what it gives you.Price out a AtlasII t-case,now that can get pricey.

any reason it wouldn't work with 232 transfer case?

Is the tail housing for the 42RLE significantly different than the 45RFE or 545RFE

You guys are referring to this write up of the klune-V -

Why would the shorter shafts be a bad thing?

Shorter driveshafts equal more vibes and less flex.

Different bolt patterns between the 45RFE/545REF and the 42RLE(different lengths also),the 242 t-case may not live with the extra reduction.

Even on an IFS with a 3" lift? I like the Reel front and rear driveshafts do they come in stock lengths?

I know that you can get Tom Woods shafts in stock lengths.

Guest · **Posted:** Tue Jul 14, 2009 10:36 am

Altering driveshaft angle at all can introduce vibrations into your rig. It's the rear you have to worry about though, not the front.

Hood297 · **Posted:** Tue Jul 14, 2009 10:56 am

has anyone tried a rubicrawler on the NP242?

That looks just like the one they put in the front of my heep. How could I tell if it was a Tom Woods?
