anyone here runing them if so what did you do to get in there im looking at picking up a 93-97 ranger 2wd or 4wd dont care its gonna get fullwidths and a 302 but if any of you have an atlas can i see pics and yes i searched

 

let me know what you find for any type of doubler. That is a future mod that I plan on getting.

 

most are not running an atlas, only because the doubler setup is a cheaper route to go. those that are running something like that have them behind other transmissions than a stock ranger transmission.

 

most doubler setups for rangers are grouping a BW 1354 to a BW 1350 t-case, there is a write up in the TRS Tech Library...

 

ATLAS transfer cases are a hell of a-lot better than doubled up transfer cases

the ATLAS is a completly manufactured transfer case
moulded from the dana 300 transfer case,, with various mounting angles

it can be ordered either passenger or driver side output shafts
also with solid rod or cable operated shifter rails

The atlas is also a gear driven case unlike the chain style of the 1354.

I have chosen the np205 to go in after the v8 swap. It will require some modding to the trans, vss, and the floor, and I hope it fits between the the frame rails.

 

yes it is gear driven

it also depends what transmission you are going to use

that 205 will be a major drag on any small block transmission

you are going to have to fabricate 1 hell of a robust transfer case crossmember

 

I know of one truck that's running one...

1997 Ford Ranger - 4Wheel & Off-Road Magazine

 

the guy i bought my axles off of has an atlas...

 

The 205 is one heavy sob. Mine does have a frame mount with it. I divorced off a 78 f250 with a 400m/c6. So it will need to consideration once its under my truck.

Although this will not happen soon. v8 swap first than the SAS and tcase upgrade. My d44/60 needs rebuilds and brake work. Before I can even think about fab work.

 

I want a Stak Monster B box... Not an atlas. Have you looked into those?

 

how much would an Atlas for a ranger cost? you can build the 1350+1354 for 150-250 bucks

 

2000+

 

I think they are around 3000 from what I remember. I only know one guy that runs one on a RBV and that is a wheeling guide at BVORR that runs it in his explorer. I think it bolts right up from what I remember

 

yeah i think it does too. it should for that price.

 

no joke, but I know he loved it and hadn't ever let him down. I think he went through two stock cases before he got it

 

i think i will give my stock 1356 a chance before i spend that kind of change.

 

holey shiat!!!! 2-3k?? wow... yah it would be nice but totally not worth it unless you have a 50,000+ dollar tr/buggy

 

well any high horse power rig with big rubber. i mean worst thing you want to do is get out on the trail and break down, ruins the whole trip.

 

I guess that is me!!!


NOT! lol!


Maybe next year that will be my big upgrade. Atlas or Stak. The research begins....

 

same here. but my dilemma is that if i get an atlas now....and do my v8 swap later, im stuck to certain tcases....if i do it later, then the skys the limit...

 

I'll stick with my 4.0. I'm happy with it for what it is. I'm all about gearing!

 

i wouldnt touch my motor if i had a 4.0.....but im not as fortunate as you.

 

thats what i used to say.

 

yeah i plan on it being behind a c4 tranny powered by a 302 hp d44 up front and 9 inch out back not sure on which 40s i want im doing all my research know and building my motor axles and tranny know that way i dont have a truck on jackstands for one to two years im gonna run 63 inch chevys out back and some style link set up i have been looking into the stretched radius arm set up i see alot of the sas guys runing and im going to use the ballastic fab hybrid coilover shock in the front as far as price on the atlas goes if you search you can get them right around 2g with out the adapters or shifters and your gonna spend right around another grand on that and the stak is just as expensive and i dont have any experiance with that company and dont know anyone who has everyone i know has run an atlas and this is not my first go round my first truggy was an 81 yota hybrid leafs up front 63 inch chevys out back 24 inch flat belly on 39.5 tsl's
