Warn VS. Husky Auxiliary Overdrive

I thought this auxiliary transmission comparison was interesting. A 1969 article promoted Warn's Auxiliary Transmission, an overdrive that sat between the transmission and transferase. By early 1970 Husky was promoting a similar sized heavy-duty overdrive that sat between the engine and transmission.

More pics of the Warn Auxiliary Transmission. This one was sold in Nevada in 2013, priced at only $450 (also included tranny & tc).

    Never saw one for a jeep but good idea. Has to be strong.

    Big disadvantage to change both drive shafts?
