I bought this a while back to fit to my Jeep camper with a 6bd1 Isuzu. From memory it's designed for a late model Patrol.
Is anyone familiar with which openings on the vacuum pump are for what?

Re: Condensation in Toolboxes

Maybe some cloth or carpet or something to absorb the moisture? I doubt you could stop moisture entering because its probably entering in the air whenever you open the doors.

Re: aluminum bullbar to winch bar ???

I had one made up years ago for a MQ with an alloy bar, I only used it a few times, but no problems. Sorry no pics. It was just 3 pieces of steel welded together in a [ shape then bolted between the chassis, then cut and drilled for the winch to fit.

A 97 Disco LT230 transfer case will have a 1.2:1 reduction (not overdrive) in high range. Defenders have 1.4:1 reduction, those 110's with the Isuzu engine and Santana gearbox had approx 1:1 (can't remember exact ratio) high range.

Full time transfer case V's Part time

What are the pros and cons of full time FWD transfer case? I've seen the kits to alter full time to part time so I'm assuming there's reasons why part time is more desirable. I'm considering using a Discovery LT230 TC which I believe is full time and can be converted to part time.

I'm considering what transfer case to use in a 63 jeep with an Izuzu 6BD1 diesel. Its a 5.8l 6cyl around 165hp. As I'm using the Isuzu gearbox I'd prefer a divorced TC or if its easy to divorce a married TC I'd like to know how. An Isuzu TC is around $7000 exchange!:rofl:

After realising that the sump and oil pickup can't simply be altered, lots changed.

I played with the gearbox before it went in and made some notes.
No overdrive 5 speed.
Type BG5 A
Speedo 17
Gears 6
Prod No. 9Y18039

It's all moving forwards 30mm and maybe down a little.
But it's close.
