good deal on a atlas (5.0 $2000.obo) but i can get my 231 built for 1100 bucks or so. what should i do...... keep saving and get the atlas and miss a few trips or build the 231 and be ready to wheel before the first trip. i have enough to build the 231 right now

build the 231. Do you really need the features of an atlas? Probably not.

i was thinking the same thing {Grin} just looking for some input

Re: so i found a - Posted By 1uglyranger (1uglyranger) on 28th Apr 09 at 10:18am
If you build the 231, will it have 32 spline outputs front and rear? Can you clock it up above the framerails?

A 231 will still be chain driven, and unable to twin stick.

i would just build the 231 i ran my stock one for years with 44 60 and 38 stock and never had a issue, weak link was 44" i know u already broke it, but i think the upgraded one should hold up just fine.

not sure about all this {Unsure} but i really just want to do a shit load of wheeling this year. and the jeep does not have coilover and all the cool shit yet so i think the 231 is going to be my best bet for now {Grin} i guess we will just have to see what instore for the heep {Grin}

atlas and forget it its only 900 more bones and in the long run you'll be happier with it and feel more confident it wont break

save you money and get the atlas. you will be better off in the long run. if you put your money into the 231 and still break it you will be pissed.

I just ditched my 203/205 combo for a stak. the doubler just couldnt do what a stak or atlas can do.

really? twin stick, one of the strongest cases out there, multiple low ranges, and cheap to fix. what else could u ask for....

Something that is lighter and way shorter. WIth a higher input torque rating than an Atlas. Stak will also gauranty their case behind a big block. AA won't

#1 running an auto and 4:1 wasnt low enough i think I am going to love the 3:1 and 5:1 over the 2:1 and 4:1
#2 building a buggy the 203/205 just to fricken heavy, I can pick up and move the stak around fine, now way to do that with the 203/205
#3 sold my 203/205 for $1300, to offset the stak cost of $2899
#4 to triple stick and change out the front output to a 32 spline was going to cost me more money into the 203/205. i feel better to just sell it and but a more compact set up.

Re: so i found a - Posted By kranker (kranker) on 30th Apr 09 at 8:42am
well it looks like its going to be the 231 probably just the 4 to 1 kit, seeing how might be trading the jeep for something fancy {Grin}

save you money and get the atlas. you will be better off in the long run. if you put your money into the 231 and still break it you will be pissed.
