Two people in my club bought it and ran it. Something kept breaking and teraflex only warrantied it twice then told both guys it was on them to fix it. Find a 241 case

I don't have it but I know a guy that does. It makes a good difference.

Keep in mind that gearing the **** out of the t-case is no replacement for gearing the axles. You'll be putting 4x the stress on the case, mounts, drive shafts, joint's and yoke. If your axles are already geared then you'll be happy with it.

Go for it. Get the Tera 2 Low while you're at it.

How much are they?

You could also look for a np241OR out of a Rubicon, they have a 4:1 low. I know they bolt up but I don't know about speed sensor/shift indicator.

I could try and find out what it was but after the complaints and teraflex not working with them I wasn't super impressed.

Cool. We had that issue with a Samurai. Geared the case to 6.5:1. Left the axles 3.55. Broke Driveshaft joints and mounts everytime it went out. Geared to 5.89 and never broke another one.

Wow. That is pricey. I thought it was around $800.

I didn't realize it was basically the rear case half. So it doesn't replace your stock 4low? Just adds another? Just thinking out loud.

You're right it goes on the front. That would make more sense wouldn't it. Lol

Yea, I seen a 241OR on here a while back. Don't think he was into shipping though. IIRC he had it down to $800.

450 for a doubler kit. more gearing options. Some times 4:1 is too low. Sometimes it's not low enough.

Right! Then all you need is another NP231 to chop up. Far better option, IMO.
