I'll be putting a 203/ 205 in my crewcab when I get around to doing the Cummins swap. It doesn't see much more than a minor trail, but having the extra gearing for backing trailers and low speed manuevering will be appreciated.

Thanks for the help guys. I dont plan on getting to rough with it or be doing any rock crawling. So think I will just put a part time kit in my 203 for now until I can find a 205 or money.Thanks again for all your help guys. I will be more than happy to help you guys on anything if ever needed.

Although it's pricey, there is now a 3 to 1 conversion for the np 205. I believe it runs around $1100, and comes with a new case (for the larger gears). It's supposed to be stronger than the atlas II. I attached the link for those who are curious

I was just thinking of the cost of doing the doubler vs. the benefits. I didn't see anything that led me to belive he needed the extra gearing. I was under the impression he was just looking to upgrade to an all around stronger t-case. I could have mis interpreted what he said.
If you have a need for the doubler and can justify the cost, more power to ya.
Good luck and let us know how it works out for you.
