Here are some pics of my 91 Daihatsu Rocky F300 witn toyota 4.88 axels, sammi baby lobster t-case and 36" Simex ET.
I've just got it from the repair shop and going to have some road and offroad test tomorow. The pics will follow, if you are interested.
very nice looking unit, I have just taken my modded toyota running gear out of my FEZ & I am 1/2 way through instaling nissan GU patrol running gear, with 4.88 ratios,as I kept on breaking diff centers & CV's in serious compition work(combination of V6 with 37"tyres & toyota gear didnt play well together)

Made some an road and off road test.
On road handle is good. The car can easily go 90-100 km/h.
Off road - the rear axle articulation can be better. I thing it has not enough weight. I will put my battaries in the rear and make some additional fuel tank approx on 80 litres. Then the articulation should be fine.
Lo-range is not enough for 36". Will put 4.16 in t-case.
yes but the teeth are that fine its like looking at a comb

If it isn't breaking a Feroza gearbox or Sierra transfer, then I wonder if its likely to be a problem ? Still I see your point with serious power - or more importantly torque.
( usual disclaimers )
It seemed like a much better idea when I started it than it does now.
There are heaps of gears available for sierra trans case.
With that size tyres & lux diffs you could even run 6.5 gears in the trans case, nice & slow offroad & wouldn't lose too much top speed.
He already has a lower r&p - gears are cheap!
Check out some the zooks on lux diffs, they run similar setups.
