Lower gears and a larger selection of lower gears.  (low in t-case A)x(low in t-case B)=double the crawl ratio.  And if you put a 4.24 gearset in one of them,  you end up with even more available ratios.  (1.81 stock, 4.24 low and 1.81x4.24[7.67] ultra low)

It helps the driver concentrate on just steering the rig as the passenger in the back can change gears for him with the stick mounted further back there.  ;D

Also duel case's equal lower gearing and more choices for ratios thus making the rig even safer by going slower , less impact if you hit some thing  much  much safer  ;)

Nope, it's not a Kicker 2.....It's a "Kick Box" that I designed and built.

The Dual Kick T-cases are mounted together using a completely custom adapter plate and specially machined output shaft. Pass side front output is cut off of the first case so as not to interfere with the output of the second case. This setup only adds 9 inches to the total length.

As it says above, I am calling this the "KICK BOX"

Are you sitting down?..... because you'd choke if I told you. Right now it costs way to much to economically sell it, but if I can find a way to make it cost effective I would like to build more of these although mass production, like with the Toy setups, is not currently a possibility. Please keep in mind that I am not posting these pic's as a "for sale" ad, but rather to get other peoples creative juices flowing....... 8)

I'll be installing it after I finish up a few customers rigs. I still have a 2.0 swap to do, a 1.9TDI swap, and another Tracker SAS to do in the next few weeks. The second t-case shifter is only moved back 9 inches from the original location so it is still between the seats. This setup is almost the same length as the Toyota dual T-case setup and would easily work in a Track/Kick or LWB Zuk just like a few guys I have seen with Yota stuff in them.
This will add a whole new set of options for guys that want more gear selection.....about 8-1 when used with the lower gearsets in the market.
