Well you answered a few of my questions. Couple still remain. ;D Really interested in this. Keep us updated on if you can streamline the proccess. Definately drop us a price when your ready.

Ask away, I'll only give you straight answers.
As for streamlining the process, well I originally had hopes to make the Kick Box as affordable as the Toyota dual transfer case setups on the market, but at this time it's still more than them. It will continue to be more expensive than the Toy stuff unless I can get the cost of the machining shafts down considerably which means they would need to be machined in large quantities. I am working on getting costs down without cutting corners, but with the price of everything going up it is a challenge.
After building one I need to install and test it to make sure that it can handle the stress we would put them under. I fully anticipate that the design will work well, but there is always room for improvement in even the best designs.

A slip-yoke eliminator would also be need as an option for those with long travel suspensions and a custom dual T-case mounting system/skid plate is already designed and will be installed and tested along with a rear heavy duty gas tank skid plate when I install it all. I also have a new heavy duty custom front skid plate for those who still have the IFS.

How much longer is a sammy t-case added to a sidekick t-case and tranny combo???   Using short shaft or kicker 3??

And has anyone built their own kicker 3 setup???

The 1.9 VW Diesel swap I am in the middle of uses the Keltec Kit and it is a well designed kit that is more complicated than it needs to be (in my opinion) and no it is not that straight forward of a swap.....much more complicated than the average motor swap.

I really like this setup what did you use to shift the front case I've been looking at doing this but not sure how to shift it have you tried it yet.

The shifter is extremely simple with a notch cut in the shift rail and the shifter mounted on the side of the case pivots forward and backward. That's all the details I want to go into right now. I will install it in the Tracker as soon as I catch up on customers rigs.
