A landcruiser t-case would be another option, not a heavy as the lt230 (chain drive, thinner case casting.) Typically a 1:1 high and 2:1ish low. Quite rare and very expensive to get hold of over here the ones I've seen have been £500 plus.
Pretty much everything else I've come across has a center rear output which is no good for the jimny unless you fit a vitara rear axle on the back.

Lada. Good solid Russian engineering in something not too far away from the Jimny. Good plan. Keithy, what do I need to know about this conversion?

He seemed to think the main obstacles were refabbing new mounts, and getting HD front shafts / CVs installed to cope with added stress of permanent 4x4.

-Flip the axles
-Move the fuel tank
-Reroute the exhaust
-Mod the tubular cross members to clear the drive shafts
Maybe some other stuff I've missed....
I'm going to fit an lt230 to mine (along with yota axles and auto box with a 250hp VAG 1.8t 20 valve up front)

Or mount the transfer box at the required angle, drill a new oil drain hole and bend the shift levers so they come up through the floor in the right place? Which would seem an easier option. It's just a box with some gears in. It doesn't know which way 'up' is.
