hey got any photos ?

is it regoed ?

how much work & money was involved in putting the hilux 4spd gearbox and transfer-case in ? is the hilux gearbox better than the mahindra ? did the gear shifters close to the originals?

did you do all the work your self ?

lol didn't know that there were that many people with modded mahindras

off road use only , all done at home , sorry havnt taken any digital photos at this point but looks the same as yours flat fender, roll cage n all goes rite over driver and passenger, a great unit for stress releive , goes hard n when you break it you just weld it up again, only prob ive had was put the panhard rod for coils on the wrong side of chassis but that has been sorted

Easiest way would be to get a w series gearbox and transfer case from a Surf/Hilux then search on trademe for the flywheel, bellhousing and clutch.

hey thanks for that

what W series gearbox am i after as there are the W50,W55,W57,W58

By the looks of things am i after the w56 ?

what should i expect to pay for engine, gearbox and all the other bits to connect the engine to the manual gearbox

Yep it's the W56 I believe.

Just do a search on trademe, they have everything listed that you will need.
