Teraflex Low Range Kit for Model 300 Transfer Kit

Teraflex has made this low range conversion kit for the transfer case.  Lower gear ratios – even though they have higher numbers – are critical when it comes to the ultimate off road performance.  When you lower your gear ratios, you can get your rig to travel slower.  This is often called crawling.  You can also get your rig to be able to climb over any obstacles without the necessity of relying heavily on the throttle.  While your gas pedal might be able to get you over those obstacles, you can also break parts of your engine in the process.  Ask any off road warrior and they will affirm that low gears are critical for any off road rig. 

Until recently, getting these lower gear ranges was only able to be achieved by switching the ratios of the ring and pinions or even by swapping your transfer cases or transmission.  While the lower ring and pinion work ok off road the drivability on the highway is sacrificed due to the higher rpm of the engine.  This can lead to excessive wear on your engine as well as to a decrease in your fuel economy.  While complete transfer case and transmission swaps also work they can be extremely expensive and there is also a laundry list of other modifications that will have to be made in the process.

Teraflex Bellyup Transfer Case Skid Plate

For those of you who may not know exactly what a skid plate is; it is a steel plate – normally heavy gauge – that is put on the undercarriage of a vehicle in order to protect the parts that it covers from damage.  In general you will see skid plates on Jeeps and other vehicles that spend a good amount of time off road.

Skid plates typically will protect such components as the steering assembly or the engine.  You will also find skid plates protecting the gas tank.  You will not generally find skid plates as factory installed equipment as not everyone enjoys going off road.  Since skid plates add weight to a vehicle and can add to repair costs if they need to be removed this saves money for those who prefer the pavement.

The Bellyup skid plate that is made by Teraflex will give you an additional 2 inches than you get from other transfer case skid plates.  This is because Teraflex made the Bellyup to have a lower profile.  The clearance that you gain from this skid plate is the same that you would get if you added tires that are four inches larger than what you are already running with.  Teraflex makes the Bellyup out of steel that has a thickness of 3/16 of an inch.  This will give you amazing protection when you are off road.

Please Note

·         The Bellyup kit for the Jeep YJ is not one that is inclusive. 

·         If you have a standard axle assembly that is low pinion in the rear then you might need to do some spacing for the Bellyup to fit properly

·         When you are using the Teraflex Bellyup you might need to make a few modifications

·         If you have a short shaft then you will also need the short shaft kit. 

·         Depending on the type of transmission and engine you have, you might need a body lift kit in order to be able to use the Bellyup.
