the alarm system... i guess most people would be scared away by 4 shifter levers... 3 of which can be left in neutral

As a matter of fact its a Mazda drivetrain... its from a <IMG SRC="smilies/rainbow.gif" border="0"> japanese 4x4 delivery truck (one of those low miles japan import engines)

the engine is a 2,0L turbodiesel, the tranny got a decent 4,1:1 first gear, the transfer has a 2,35:1 low ... (we actually pulled the whole tranny/transfer setup to turn the input shafts, counting the outputshaft turns - after all, you want to know what size of tires you should put on )

and then of course there is the D18 twinstick behind it ...

its one of the oddball cj6 from southamerica, with D44 front/rear and 4,89gears... so the package was pretty atractive to begin with <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0">

cheers,
