i hyave that setup. siple, easy, but not cheap. I bought mine from ORD, but there are some out there half the price now and I hear just as good.

Totally simple boltup deal. I even bought my shifters from ORD.

[Crazy_Jeepman]

Tad what are you putting it in? I have a guy doing a setup for me now.

[Tad]

Cool, post it up, send it over, however.
I have been looking for a 205 for the wag-o-wackjob, then this 203 just fell into my lap.
Might as well have another change of plans now.
Thanks

[Tad]

ah crap, i can't open a .doc file Elliott, i'll have to forward it to work and check it out tomorrow.
Thanks

The 203 a TH400 version? I take it, and you have the adaptor for it? and the TH400 output?

Why, any of these things harder to change than anything else I'm doing?
Like I said, it fell in my lap, I was not looking for it :cool:

fsjeeper, hows that doubler workin out for ya, what kind of abuse has it held up to. i only ask b/c i have talked to a few guys w/ that setup and they have broken the intermediate shaft. just wondering how yours has held up. im going to go that route in the future but i wanted to wait till i heard some better news about the ORD setup.

thanks

Not hard to change out the parts, just finding them could be fun, the 203 to TH400 adaptor, and the Trans output shaft, is a lot harder to find then the one to the TH350.

[Tad]

OK, lots to read thru and lots to search for then. Not like I get anything done quickly anywho.
Once the TH400/Dodge 208 leaves the room there will be a vacant spot to get filled up anyway ;)

I'm new to all this fancy FSJ jargon, but what's a Doubler? I'm guessing it's something similar to a Klune, but that's just cause you're associating with the Tranny and T-case. :D

[River Beast]

Doubler is a dual transfer case setup that allows you variable options for gear ranges...

below is a ORD Doubler comprised of a NP203 and NP205...each case in the doubler still gives you the H/L option for gearing... think about it.. ;)

What about doubler made from the range box of a quadratrac is that the same thing as the 203's range box?

J

[mikeythefireman]

Wow. That's pretty freakin' cool. Gives you lots more options.

[Lurker]

Oh, and... Not as easy as the other, but...

People do the 205/203 combo cause they can fit together, and because they are both strong as hell. Anything else I would think couldnt handle the torque multiplication. Some go klune 205 or atlas which is a strong setup also. I currently have my shift rails at ORD being machined, so I can twin stick my 205. They seem real knowledgable about the doubler.

Just my .02, your gonna spend at least $1000 doing a doubler. You can get the klune and spacer for $1575. The 2.7 klune/205 will give you a lower crawl ratio than the doubler and is just as strong if not stronger. Plus it will be about 100lbs lighter and takes up less room. And it is bolt right up for most applications. Then just twin stick your 205 as originally planned. Just another option. Dennis

Tad here's another link, I think its a little different from the other one. ord doubler catalog (http://http--www.offroaddesign.com-catalog-doubler.htm)

I too had a 203 fall in my lap so to speak, when I blow the q-trac I'll start looking closer at the doubler setup.

[Tad]

Thanks Lurker, that one did not come up in a search.
I really want to hear from folks that run a 203/205 doubler in an FSJ.
No offense to all who posted intended or implied here.
There has to be at least one of you that has one of these setup, that is moving, and is done?
Pic's?

[fulsizjeep]

I know ColeTrickle is looking into this. Don't know anyone actually running that combo in FSJ tho. Links I got from Cole:

Pic's?Tad, I have one installed in my choptop, but have yet to finish the project. I can tell you installation is extrememly easy and the dual shifter kit from ORD is worth the money. Hopefully I'll get it done in time for Ouray next summer, tired of renting baby jeeps everytime I go up there.
