Thanks for the links. I dont think Low Range sells any inchworm products for the r155. Hell, i couldnt even find any other their adapters listed on the website. I know they bought the company from Jim, but doesnt appear to be producing any of their parts anymore.
That link for the r155 more pertains to the bellhousing. Looks like i could swap in a later r150f from a taco and use the bellhousing from the 2TR then buy an adapter to the atlas from AA.
I think my current (cheapest) plan is to buy a AX15 tailhousing and bolt it in place of the rear half my current r155. The swap in the AX15 output shaft. I think it all should work together. The last ting i would need to buy would be a clocking ring for the Atlas for $75. Total would be around $3-400 for all of it. Maybe cheaper if i can find a good used AX15 in a junkyard.

Yeah I haven't been on their website in a long time, not even sure what they offer these days. I was thinking you could use R155 bellhousing, bolt in R151F, go to top shift toyota crawlbox, then to dana 300. But you'd have to buy the turbo tranny. Your way sounds a bit cheaper.

Finding a r151f is hard. and when you do they are $800-1000. I can get an AX15 for $3-400 and swap in a new r155 input shaft, re-use my r155 bellhousing and clutch/starter/shift fork/etc, then sell the r155 and factory t-case to someone wanting to convert their taco to 4wd. Should be money ahead at the end and not have to use any expensive adapters. Now to find the AX-15....

I can vouch for that, I got lucky and got mine a little cheaper. Been waiting for a good time to swap iti n. An AX-15 are a dime a dozen up here, people part out jeeps like they are giving out candy.

Im leaning towards the Coopers or the new BFGs. Nittos third, then the stupid expensive Toyos (probably best tire out of the bunch), then the Fury's.

Even with the 20% rebates, thats close to $1600 including taxes/mount and balance/disposal/etc. not much of deal with all the add ons. There is a like new set of 40" toyos in Houston on Craigslist that o have my eye on. Not that great of a deal, but i may be able to get them cheaper.

A lot of those add ons you can ask to take them off, I bought about 20 tires a few years ago.

Ill keep that in mind when i order a set. Right now isnt the time. Im looking for a used set of 37s to mount up and pass inspection. Ill keep it like that while i shop around for deals on other parts. Im sure Discount will have similar deals around other major holidays.

my parents were antique dealers, sorry I inherited the cheap ass traits, and it's doesn't help that my employer also sends me to neogation courses to deal with regulatory agencies on DoD environmental clean ups and fines, saving yo tax dollars

My neighbors kid works for Discount Tire... earlier this year he said he could get 12 KM3's for $100 a pop.. he wanted 4. I said I would take the other 8. Well fast forward to when the deal could come to light and the details reveal they are only for vehicles he owns... so ethics rule so I am out. I get it and I am not upset at all. But it would have been nice.

Have it set up on a give me a set every X number of years. Might work out.
Let the kid drive your truck into work for a day? Then technically it's not unethical

Dealer cost for a CRL aftermarket slider is $183.55. I don't sell automotive products, but I do have an account with CRL for glazing tools/parts so at least you can use this info as a bargaining chip. They also have power sliders for $426
If you were local I'd hook you up at cost, but no can do for as far away as you are and as picky as my boss is.
The other prices listed are for people who don't spend 50k a year with them. Our price is discounted as much as possible or so their salesman tells me because we spend 200k a year.
