Lomax np205 3-to-1 transfer case

[swyfor5]

Anybody running this t-case in their 1st gen? Looks like a great swap-in if you have the cash. Been trying to decide to get rid of the dana 20 and go with the np205, but maybe this lomax is the way to go! If the cash is there, it looks like a direct swap in, with a serious upgrade! Let's see some pic's!

I still have the stock 205. I have only seen the pics and the BIG price tag, but it is a new xfer and lower ratios too. Would be nice to hear some real world comments about it

Unless your doing some serious (can you get more serious than what Burt does?) off-roading or rock crawling, I haven't heard anyone having issues with the stock 205. If I were you, I'd drive the Dana20 'til it implodes and then look for a swap. The Dana20 isn't a bad t-case, it's just not quite as stout as the 205.

I am not the utmost authority, but I have not heard of very many broken 205's , I am sure that it happens, but I would say a well built 205 with a decent driver in the seat is about as reliable as you would ever need? But if you have the cash, they are bad A's T-cases...and stronger is better when wheeling.

That's what I was thinking, real hands on experience. The price tag is high, but to rebuild or reseal the dana 20, I might be farther ahead to go for the lomax?

I think some guys over at CK5 are running one, i'd ask around there.

Looking at the jb website. Might be a stupid question, but it say's it comes with a 1350 yoke. Options include a 1410 yoke for the frt., and rear output shafts. I'm guess'ing this is for u-joint size, but I need to know so I can research for my upgrade to 1 ton status. Anybody got any ideas? I think I'm going the lomax way, and bypassing the stock np205 swap.
