hey all, just wondering what gearbox combos are good to run behind a 1uz in a hilux? auto or manual, PTO for winch etc. will be aiming to use the truck in winch challenges etc so whatever can handle hard abuse the better.
cheers

get an auto and manualise it, with the 70 series transfer option just need find the factory adaptor and it all bolts up like factory.. or get a LJ7* auto and swap some small bits and ya away running.. very easy..

how easy is it to manualise one? i do like that idea. iv seen a couple of pepole use the original 1uz auto box and modify a transfer case to fit on the back so was thinking that could be the go as iv got a couple lying around the shed.

This is my tutorial on manualising the auto.. I set mine up to use the shifter..
Bit more work than just some diodes...
