Haha I’ve already bought mine.

Clark installed his and would have thoughts. Danny installed mine.

And with 10% off the more you spend the more you save! Lol

Do you really use all 4 speeds that often?

I use it enough to justify the cost.  And when I use it, its in a spot where the extra control is nice to have. I use it more so going down than going up.  It lets me go down steep/technical stuff without having to use the brakes...

Frankly, for a 2-speed case with 4:1 gearing behind a stock engine, I don't know that spending twice on the Atlas is worth it.  Grab a Rubi case.  I certainly haven't used the front dig capabilities of the twin stick more than a couple times... I'm sure others will disagree!

Certainly around here that's the main advantage.  In Moab the extra low gearing can be useful.

Rubi case is still chain driven and go for 1,500+. My dilemma is spend 600 and a bunch of time on an sye, yokes, and an HD chain and still only have 2.72:1, spend 1,500 on a rubi case and get 4:1 but still have a chain case and no warranty and likely have to spend another 150 or so on yokes, or spend 2,300 and have a bulletproof gear driven case with a warranty and some blingin twin sticks

I’m a fan of the 4 speed too.

The low/low(10:1) is a little too low for me but, like JC, going down technical stuff it’s really nice.

What I really like is being able to swap from the 2.7:1 and the 3.8:1.  It doesn’t sound like a lot but, for me, there is a difference there that I like. 
Always good to have choices. But in the long run, nothing wrong w the 2 speed

I’ve got the two speed with 4.3 to 1 and it would be real decent to have a 2 to 1 or 2.7 to 1 sometimes.
