no, fit 4.6's from a petrol and run a 5sp diesel box for lowest overall thou.

doesnt drop the "crawl" down that much..... only just enough to be noticable.
Check the Bible out and have a look at the gerabox / transfer section under "Ratios"
Oh and 4.8's would be better than 4.6s but are hard to find.

you would already have 4.6 ratios stock

If its a shorty its not possible, cause the driveshaft would be far too short
But it can be done in a LWB if u give the proper thought into it, ive got it all sorted out, just dont have room any more in mine, so its a next time mod
duel transfers would double ur crawl though, all mounts and angles would be custom and your front shaft would run very low, id be wanting a spring over before even thinking about attemping it.....

yea i have a LWB and it is a 5 speed and i also have a wreck MK shorty out the back with 4.6's in it im just saving up for a lockers before i put them in because i have lost a fair bit of engine braking going to 34's in low range and i dont like it

My mk 5spd turbo diesel with 4.6 ratios on 35's is way low in 1st gear low range.
My mate has a v8 hilux and 4.1 centres with crawler gears and 35's. Mine will crawl slower

Im the same with my petrol, i have a 5 speed with 35's and it crawls really slow in first.

Ditto
Its even quite good on the 38" swampers

The V8s have the advantage of being able to hold lower revs at idle than the 6 cylender motors without stalling easily.
mine crawls confortably enough to not warrant crawlers even with the 38s
