So I’ve found the obvious weak link in my rear case and since I’m down, I’m going all in. I ordered the marlin crawler competition 4.7 gear set. When I took it all apart, I found some issues that need to be dealt with. The output that’s in there is a TG but there is some damage to the 2wd/4wd gear, so I’m replacing it.

Here is the question. I currently have a trail tough rear disconnect….

Do I replace the TG output and keep the rear disconnect, orrrrrrr do I go with the marlin crawler beef and get rid of the disco? ( there isn’t a disconnect for the 30sp marlin output)

My rig is a light weight, 120” wheelbase Toyota with 60s and 39 reds and a 22re. Thanks in advance.

Did you ever have any problems out if that disconnect?
 
The 30 spline main shaft is significantly bigger than the TG. I had an og longfield shaft in mine for years. Never had any problems out of it, but when I swapped comp gears in my case I did the Marlin 30 spline outputs at the same time. No ragerts.

Pics of the school bus!

To be honest, I’ve never felt like I needed front digs in mine. But maybe it’s because I’ve never had that ability and I just don’t know what I’m missing. I’m at 115” wb and on 42” treps. Pic of rig for reference:

Have you considered an atlas instead?

Absolutely, unfortunately to get it setup the way I need it it’s going to be stupid money up front which I just don’t have

I've got the TG 4.7 gears for my buggy, no plans to run a disconnect. I have a Tracker/Toyota doubler setup. I'm 106" on 40's. If the TG stuff doesn't hold up, I'll go with the 30-spline Marlin stuff.

Once you get use to not having front dig, you really wont miss it. I went from yota cases to atlas and still dont use front dig that much because i'm use to not having it. I always wondered how strong the marlin output would be as compared to the rcv. I broke two rcv outputs before my old buggy got retired. Old buggy was 123" wb also for reference on the front digs.
