2 twin sticks?

Why would you do that, its not possible. Only the rear you can put twin sticks in, the front case just has one function hi/lo.

I would suggest doing some research of what a dual case does first before you hurt yourself. That will help you determine if you can use two twin sticks.

If you're asking this question you don't understand what a twin stick does. You need to do some more homework.

Do you mean, dual twin sticks as in having triple cases and the rear two cases twin sticked? You can only have a twin stick in the rear. The purpose of a twin stick is to be able to select 2wd and 4wd independently of low and high range so you have the option of 2 low low. The front cases are only for choosing low or high no matter how many you have.

You can mount a twin stick on the front case, but only one of the shift levers will be functional.

Having that attitude won't get you any help. Just ignore the people posting stuff you don't like and just be thankful for the help you did receive. Your question was answered, but when you ask a question that normally when you're at the point of putting twin sticks in you should know, people will give ya a hard time

Judging by the questions you are asking, you will definitely be the one needing help on the trail. You should watch your attitude because you will likely be the one not getting it.

Ok Wabbit here's a newb to dual cases question, without a twin stick will I have access to 2low with dual cases by putting the front case into low and having the rear in 2hi? Or would that mess something up? Obviously I couldn't have 2 low low...

Twin sticks and dual cases are 2 different things..... you can have Lo/lo... thats the beauty of dual... COMPOUND LOW!

you can also have twin stick with only 1 tcase...

correct me if i'm wrong but... _without_ the twin sticks but dual cases you have have

2wd hi
lo /hi
hi /lo
lo/lo


the twin stick allows you to disengage your front or rear.. to allow for front or rear digs.

Oh I know they're totally different, I'm about to put my dual case setup together here and was just wondering if it was ok to run the first case in low (2.28:1) while having the rear case in high 2wd? Or would that mess something up with crazy RPM's or somethin in the rear case?

That is indeed 2WD low range (2.28:1), I use mine all the time. It is no different than the speed/RPM you get in normal 4WD low range, 30-35 MPH is top speed.

When you ask "dumb-ass" questions you get "smart-ass" answers.
