The Current BlackBox Build Time is 12 Weeks
Dubbed ‘i’ for integrated, the BlackBox-i is the second evolution of the underdrive series. Designed to be as short and compact as possible, the BackBox-i was specifically developed for short-wheelbase vehicles; jeeps, early Broncos, and rock buggies. To meet these goals, the design process had to start with a clean slate.
Innovation
Putting aside traditional gearbox design, we eliminated the usual male/female splined connection at the transfer case, reducing the length by up to 4 inches. Instead of using the standard transfer case input shaft, we incorporated its internal dimensions directly into the BlackBox’s main shaft. This innovation allows the BlackBox-i to fit inside and fully integrate into the transfer case, significantly shortening the overall gearbox assembly length.
Dana 300
By replacing the input shaft and housing, the Dana 300 input gear directly splines onto the BlackBox output shaft, making this a very compact 5” long BlackBox-i. Need to adapt to a different transmission? The BlackBox’s wide variety of input shafts takes care of it at the same time.
Bronco Dana 20
By replacing the long factory input shaft and bearing retainer, the 6-spline input gear mounts directly to the Blackbox output Shaft. This adds up to a compact 5.188” long gearbox assembly that can now also be easily adapted to a wide range of transmissions.
Atlas II - The Shortest
The BlackBox-i for the Atlas-II replaces the stock Atlas input shaft, as well as the 1” thick bearing retainer and clocking ring. This system only adds 4” over the stock Atlas-II! The BlackBox-i for the Atlas is compatible with all gear ratios, and the older 6 spline, the newer 32 spline, and the Newest 8 Bolt 32 Spline input gears.
Hero 2 & 3 Speed
The BlackBox-i for the Hero 2 & 3 Speed Transfer Case replaces the stock Hero input shaft, as well as the 1" thick bearing retainer and clocking ring. This system only adds 4" over the stock Hero Transfer Case! The BlackBox-i is compatible with all gear ratios but does require the input assembly to be shipped to us for gear to be installed. (Yes this turns a 3 Speed into a 6 Speed!)
