Whilst the 2.8 Tdi Daihatsu engine is a massive improvement over the old 2.5 N/A and even the 2.5 turbo engines, it ain't no half shaft snapper I can tell you lol
I would stick with an LT77 and LT230 transfer case to be honest, reliable, cheap and pretty original.

sorta my point, cheap & easily accessable (plenty around)
also they fit the chassis & body so less mix&match

thanks everyone for your messages and advice , it,s currently got the original LT77 box in it at the moment and yeah to say it,s slow is slight understatement but i do like the idea of the 2.8td ,
