[QUOTE="BeatCJ, post: 1255118, member: 17448"] It depends on what you are going to do. If you work it real hard, then you need to upgrade so many parts in the D300 it's not worthwhile. Flip kiit runs $500. Front output shaft upgrade runs you $500. Rear output shaft $500. $250 to rebuild it. 4:1 gears, $500. $2000 plus the original case, That's Atlas (or STaK, if that's your choice) kind of money, but you still have the 22 year old iron casting. Sure, those are large, round numbers, shop hard, do things yourself, do some research, you can save SOME money, but I would be really surprised if anyone got all those things done for less than $1500. Many flipped D-300s leak. Break things inside, and you may end up having to spend the money again. Breaking an aftermarket case is much more rare than breaking an upgraded D-300 case. On the plus side, those things can be done in steps. For me, in my CJ-5, I will stay with the D-300. After 3 years of using the CJ-5, [I]for my needs[/I], 35" tires are enough. I do have a CJ10a project that will get an Atlas 4 speed. But it's going to be a whole 'nother kettle of fish, more juggy than Jeep. But I collected parts for 3 years before I figured out what was right for the CJ-5. How long have you been figuring out what you need? :beer: [/QUOTE]
