Reduction gears for 4runner

Hi,

I've done a search and read a bit on here but still confused, so quick questions.

With my 89 4runner that would have a chain driven transfer case, it looks like I can't put reduction gears in it?

So do I have to swap to a gear driven case?

Or the other option is dual cases, which I'll need two gear driven cases to do?

Thanks,

Jim from Inchworm off road gear in the US sales an adapter for an auto tranny :lol: He is a great guy to do business with.

ok thanks.

Yeah I've seen the adapters. Does that mean i could get a gear driven transfer case, get a new low range gearset put in that, then remove the existing chain driven transfer and replace with the geared one?

I don't know too much about the different variations of the hilux/4runner transfers, but what were the different ones released (solid axle diesels) in australia, chain or gear driven??

Cheers!!
