Im wanting to build build something a little bit more radical for next years mud season, and came across a jeep that the owner had set up for sanddrags looking more a the rig i noticed he didnt have a transfer case just a sproket off the tranny with a chain driving another sproket for the front driveline. Has anyone messed with this kind of setup and where can i buy a kit?

Look up PowerPro Racing back east. They are the biggest mud rail outfitter I've seen.

As long as it's from a pink Princess bike, otherwise you'd have problems.

A pink princess bike hmm the neighbors daughter has one might have to do a nite time bike raid. Ill check out powerpro, Randy ive often wondered what your setup just never wanted to snoop around your rig.

When I was building a blown alcohol rail, I designed a 4 gear chain unit. By changing the output gear, you could change the final ratio. The four gears were output, idler/adjuster, and the two drive gears. It wouldn't be hard to build, I just never got my chassis to start building it. Long story there.
