That's sort of what I inquired about too....just buy all the internals from them but JB seemed uninterested in that and wanted to sell a complete 3:1 Lomax case instead. And to be fair, it may be b/c they don't have new parts in terms of the 1.96 gears. Frankly, not sure anyone's still making the 1.96s.
in the d300 game the answer is yes.... absolutely yes
I've read low gearing in the axles helps....which is why I picked 5.86s for the axles on this build. Hoping that allows the cases to survive the 40s.21 spline 4.7 inchworm gears since 04, TG adapter plate, stock geared 21 spline reduction box, LF treated rear output in 2007. My old rig was 4700lbs on 40 stickys and new is 4k on 40 stickys. I've broken a lot of crap but never the cases. I thought it broke 2 years ago but my midship twisted in half
That said, Atlas will be next. Toyota cases are no longer cheap to buy or build and I have several I can sell to help fund it.
Yeah my friend has 3.73s I think with 40s and breaks t-case outputs pretty easily. I have 5.38s.
...get an Atlas
so advance might get the nod since its in stock for the rear shaft, debating on doing a front output shaft upgrade.
I’m the same. Custom stuff I have one on the shelf. If I narrow an axle to custom width respline factory shafts and order some chromoly. I’m even contiplating keeping a spare coilover on the shelf in the future.
You can order everything off his website and not have to call. That's why I mentioned tmi. They give you the list you need from jb and you can just order. Im assuming that's why you wanted to call. Make sure you got everything needed for tmi case?
Ok Kamala, what other pontifications do you have for us today?

I get it I'm a bit bias, cast aluminum is inferior in more ways than I have time to list.another option enters the Dana 300 scene…
Not a bad deal for the first 10 buyers… but that makes me think it’s the tried and true to fail method of taking money without the actual product on the shelf.

Considering behemoth isn't a bottom of the barrel not known of machine shop...another option enters the Dana 300 scene…

Is it any different than what you find inside modern chain drive cases?
If you made it thicker the gear attached to the rear out gets out of alignment and you have to machine down rear output housing to get everything lined back up. Mmw was thicker it also causes problems with detents on shift rail lining up and fully engaging in gear.
yeah I'm leaning the same. Still want the concept of the 300 but JB hasn't responded at all to multiple emails and I'm over that.
Pick up the phone? Your mouth handicapped?
Yeah...I ordered a 32 spline rear output from JB....and it took forever for them to ship after they accepted payment. Multiple emails ignored. Only responded after leaving a message via phone. Odd that in this day that phone is the only way to reach someone to solve a problem, ask a question, etc. That and their shipping charges are bonkers.
