find antts members thread, he ran a vit box,vit transfer and sierra transfer
you need to cut the front output off the vit transfer and make up a mount to link the sierra transfer to teh vit transfer and a driveshaft
ends up pretty long as well

There's a mob in the states doing a similar thing but the 2 tcases are bolted together solid, no jack shaft. Could you do the same thing with your setup Joe?

can do...but ends up way too expensive. and if you ever have to remove the cases its a pita.

first time i've seen it done that way joeblow, not a bad idea at all
i did similar with mine, chopped the front output off, welded it shut to still hold oil. used 2 sierra flanges bolted together to join them, and they were then mounted solid together.
steve got some pics of it on here somewhere

saw the pics. did the same thing bout 14 years ago, problem was too many vibes. i now make em half the size and had new rear output splined flanges made.you only end up moving the stock transfer back about 50- 70mm, unfortunately a little more with a 4 speed auto. this way i can keep em pretty cheap and simple....but oh so tuff too. remember, will do nothing for highway gearing, and better suited to diff gears than rockhoppers.
