4x4 conversion kits ?

[UncleJerm76]

I bought directly from Scott at Axle inc, as said incredibly nice fella. However they make trans for several manufacturers and don’t really deal with direct to consumer much so don’t expect a website or instructions. Not that it’s needed if you have any idea what’s going on.

The trans has synchros so you “can” shift-up from low to high on the fly but I don’t think you can (or should) shift from high to low. I’ve never had the need to even try it. In my head Low range was for off road crawling and High gear was gonna be for the hard pack dirt roads, but high is just too fast for me with 25’s & my motor so now I leave it in low all the time.

If I had anything to do over I would see if it were possible to get an even lower low gear & high gear just to slow things down a bit more for my off road through the woods riding. And check if they had an IRS version. I think it would be cool to have IRS with inboard disk brakes. Not so much for performance of unsprung weight but more so that I could run nice big brakes inboard and still run the little wheels and big tire sidewalls I prefer.

Ok so I finally got back to my cart and found the yr it's 1996 and need to lift it first any lift recommendations?

I wouldn't lift it first. Think about it.

The Axle inc setup I mentioned earlier builds in a 4-5’ish lift in the rear. If you buy their 4x4 kit it lifts the front also





so you’ll be done with both the 4x4 and the lift in one fell swoop, and a lot less if you do it all at once.

You’ll be wasting your money if you buy a lift kit now and then decide to go 4x4 later.

Complete Newbie here. But I'm considering my options. I'm looking to build a hunting cart and would like a little more torque for iffy situation. It sounds like the 2 speed limited slip setup from renegade would work perfectly. My question is how would this compare to a navitas conversion with the on the fly controls? Thanks for any and all help
