i dont think there are many upgrades you can get, besides atlas's, but i dont know if those will just bolt right up and work, the only thing that will really help is if you get an sye and rebuild your transfer case with all new parts, but if it works fine then i wouldnt bother, why do you wanna upgrade in the first place?

Upgrading your t-case isn't going to increase torque.

Torque is a product of the engine, not the drivetrain.

any t-case upgrade is going to be $$$... right now theres a 241OR from a rubicon going on NAXJA for $1000, and an atlas or stak is going to be WAY more than that. you could do the teraflex kit, you can also re-gear your axles. what size tires you running? stock gearing?

oh well then I thought wrong... I thought it would improve torque... oh well

I am running 33s with stock gearing... if I regear I am going to get either the 8.8 in the rear or a d44, if I can find one.... going with 456s
