I also went with 400r tranny for the overdrive and it cruises down the highway @ 75 no problems plus parts are much cheaper. One other thing I did was put Jeep axles under YJ axles under it so I could just shift into 4wd from inside no lockouts. They are only about 3/4 wider so they look normal and again they are cheap and available. I have tons of pictures if you need anymore information.

I dumped the LC TC and replaced it with a NP 231 and replaced front and rear axles with a set from ~2001 Cherokee (Dana 30 up front, Chrylser 8.25 in back). Doing this necessitated new wheels and I ended up going with super-high offset NATO steelies to get my 235/85r16 Duratracs in under the fenders. This gives me disk brakes up front, drums in rear and ability to shift into 4x4 with no locking of axles, etc.
In the early days I had all kinds of fuel delivery issues but cleared all that up by sending the fuel tank for a long soak in an acid bath. I have almost 4000 miles on it since as my fair weather daily driver (I work from home when in town, otherwise flying around to customers/meetings) and am very happy with the entire set up. Since she was not original when I bought her, the decision to go further away from stock was much easier but the end results are fantastic, to me.

I was wondering if you had any info on what was needed to make the swap in yours to the Chrylser rear? My drivetrain in my patrol is still completely stock. the thought of disc breaks is also appealing.
