ok i just did a search (as i prob should have done first) and turns out a couple of you guys have done the conversion, next question, what did you do for gear boxes? as using the nissan box would mean no low range
cheers michael

using the nissan gear box may mean tunnel reconstruction but it will not mean no low range. You could still use your transfer case although you may need to relocate it further back, this is only guessing as i dont know the lengths.
