Toyota Dual Case questions

Yup! Me point is running another tcase may not resolve the problem. It sounds like the ONLY reason for the second tcase was to lessen the angle of the front shaft by moving it back, were a expense 80° shaft would not have to be used. And that is an unknown! It may still need a 80° shaft, for this reason alone you NEED to pay the money to have the axle cut and turned. A second tcase is a bad way to try to change the angle of your drive shaft.
 
Personally, I would go with the 5" spring and 37's you will enjoy driving it more, and you could hit a trail every now and then!!
 
As for my transmission, a local shop that's dealt with toyotas since they opened quoted me $600 to rebuild my tranny and I seen ECGS has a rebuild kit for $250. Clutch cost $150 so id have $1000 in a clutch and a rebuilt tranny...what yall think? Only thing is what if I have gears that are shot inside?
 
if it is mainly a show truck, you could do what a lot of mud guys do, and run a NP200 clocked down. It is a divorced case, so you could run it behind a 2wd trans or std tcase, depending what your rear driveshaft looks like.

Toyota trans are cheap. I would just buy another used one and throw a clutch in it.

I'm leaning to cutting and turning the knuckles or swapping out my springs for 5" trail gears and run some 37-40s

The problem he will run into there is the cost and finding someone to do the install. I would just let the company you found rebuild the trans and get happy! It will be the easiest and cheapest for you!
 
Galloway's left his caster at 15 degrees. So...there's quite a bit more room for the pinion to come up. I really don't think it needs a cut and turn treatment. If he was to ever lower it afterwards, he'd be stuck with something that probably wouldn't work.
 
Ok, so let me be the asshole that totally nerds out here!!!

Assume the tcase is 5' from the axle and the tcase is 4' up from the ground. Ok ready
4÷5= 0.8
tan-1 (0.8)= about 38°
this is the degree the drive shaft will be at.
Now let's pretend he added another tcase (as stated above to lessen the angle) let's just call the tcase 7"
Now
4÷5.7=0.7
tan-1 (0.7)=34°

This is a change of 4°
Is all that money and work worth 4° and will it even help?? If so, go for it!!
OK sorry nerd time over.

Note: I know these numbers are not totally accurate, and it's been awhile so someone please check my work!! but the point is moving back 7" is only going to gain you around 4°
this is just tcase shaft angle, the only way to lessen that is to either move it back, or lower it down. My vote is to put the 5" springs on it and wheel it!!

Marlins rig is sick, but not the one thinking about. This guy has a 4Runner all tubed and chopped with triple cases. On the soup bowl, its sick.

I first met Marlin when he was working with his prototype. When he added the triple transfer with the additional internal regearing his crawl ratio was 1047:1. Showing off... yes. But he was able to go up and down several of the waterfalls of Surprise Canyon when everyone else was winching. Painfully slow to watch... might as well sit back and eat your lunch and take a short nap.

I am guessing it would move soooo slow it would almost be pointless. I think this is slower then Merlins rig..

Not even close to Marlins ratio.
