Marlin Or InchWorm, Single or Dual Case?

Hi all,

Researching and searching information on transfer cases. I don't know whether to go dual cases, single case with gears, Marlin or Inchworm? I was leaning toward the dual ultimate from Marlin but is this overkill? I will be doing some rock crawling but I won't take the hardest lines and beat the hell out of my truck. I also will be playing in the desert and doing some moderate wheeling as well. Right now it's IFS but money only goes so far at a time!

What is the best overall setup? Would I be better off with a regeared single case and twin shifters?

brother in law had a 7:1 inchworm, but he only did rockcrawling...
he also had 5.29 gears and only went 65 mph at top speed!! lol...
dont think that they offer the 7:1 anymore tho...

I did! I like it! I'm going to chat with MC and see what the best/most economical approach is. I'm leaning toward the dual case set up. Sucks only because I just had my rear driveshaft done with a C/V. booo!

ok if your going to only do crawling then single case big gears

if your going to use your 4wd and play in the mud crawl snow drive and what not twin case triple sticked is your friend allows you to have stock fun and yet drop down yet again for even more fun then go back to stock

and yes i said twin case triple sticked that way you can go 2low or even 2low low then go into 4 low or 4 low low get my drift

and as for this cv rear shaft you better post some pics man i gotta see this thing i dont get how it would work at all

We usually call that twin-sticked even though you do indeed have 3 shifters. Having just 2 shifters doesn't really have a name - that's just standard for dual cases.

Triple-stick is reserved for those (very) few who have done all the linkage work to actually have the 3 sticks all located together next to each other
