Apparently, the best thing Jeep ever did was install a Dana 300 T-case. But thats another argument In my quest to find one I came across a cheap Dana 20, but had a distinct lack of interest.
I saw one for $1000 and nearly fell over. I could buy a whole hilux for that!!
What do these things retail for in driving condition?? Anybody local got the 4:1 gears?
I was offered a US one needing rebuild for US$600 with 4:1s.
I am not installing one, just thinking about it at the moment. Not like I would tell you guys anyways, Wooders, gives me enough lip as it is!!
But serious pros and cons if you have any would be welcomed, along with prices and so forth! Cheers

Yeah but that's ALLL the entire HiLux is worth (in good cond )....
You can get them cheaper - but becuase they are so rare out here you'll pay a bit of a premium....or get stung by our crappy xrate.....
Try the Jeep Wreckers Mascot Motors (Nowra) or Hunter Spares (lemon Tree Passage) |

BJ i am running a Dana 300 with Teralow 4:1 gearset in it.
The ratio has made a HUGE diff to mine. The transfer is spose to be one of the toughest jeep uint there is.
I paid $625 USD for the 4:1 kit from www.trailquest.com, but was quoted
$2800 AUD from USA 4X4 in Melb.
$600 with the 4:1 as long as it is not one of the realy one kits ( that had some problems) it would be a reasonable buy.

get onto hammond.
they were mentioning bringing in 14 of the suckers from the US a while ago when I asked.
Don't know if it every happened.
They also mentioned AUS$700 which is pretty steep as they sell for US$50-200 all day long in the states.
Maybe look for an np205 or something instead....might be easier to get at the ford wreckers around.
cheers
