Thank you John for this information. The loss of traction on my front axle in snow - on a recent Christmas Tree hunt in Colorado was underperforming and “skipping” if you will - as you explained happens in sand. After seeing this video I’m lucky I didn’t shear the “ fuse” in my transfer case.
How do you address the front differential with your Atlas transfer case swap? The front diff is a tiny unit with tiny halfshafts out to the wheels. I imagine the weak link moves to the front and that unit will implode under any moderate load. Have you guys considered portal hubs at the front wheels to increase torque capacity on the front axle while also allowing a 50:50 torque split through an additional gear reduction?
I know that some companies in Europe (Iglhaut, Achleitner) use a Landcruiser transfer case instead. Any idea why this only works starting with 2WD not simply replacing it on a 4WD?
Great explanation, would love to see the same type vid showing the Atlas transfer case upgrade you offer!

I would love to see a video with the AWD transfer case!!
Thanks this was helpful
@@ebpollock we would to see one as well, one day we’ll get our hands on one
So its basically front wheel assist
Would like to see the new AWD transfer
I assume (hope) part 2 of this video is a full breakdown of the Agile Offroad Atlas transfer case!
This was really helpful. Would love to see something like this on the new unit.
This is so informative!!!
Bless you on your journey and eternal quest to find the next fuse in "4x4" Sprinters. :)

I wonder if my jeep liberty works the same
Very informing video, thanks. How about the T1N's ZG1, 2 and 3, how do they compare to this one? Any similar video on them around?
does anybody know if you can repair this break down or must you replace the transfer case
Seems like it’s less than ideal. ☹️
