Not hard to find or expensive. KNZ165 Hilux

I converted my transfer case from push button 4WD to lever (chain transfer case) If you want to run the very strong gear transfer case, adapters are available from the states.

The Prado also uses the R151 and is full time 4WD but the transfer case is on the other side, so a front diff swap is required.

Grippy tires, plenty of grunt, extra weight & old parts combined with generous throttle angle applications will inevitably end in various amounts of bad language after varying amounts of fun

Always great to hear the rumble of a V8 going past, then turning to see a tall Hilux going past

i have got a fucked r151 out of a surf in the shed but itl need a new 3/4 selector fork and bearings

actually the transfer off the r151 is still mint, but are they strong enough?

Sorry I am thinking of the H151, tho the R151 must be getting hard to find a good one these days.
