i read somewhere they were 124lbs dry...that cant be right cause a t-case weighs more than a tranny and a zf is close to 150 lbs i think...mind you thats a heavy azz tranny lol...my M5OD is aobut 120 lbs i think...so i wouldnt doubt that 205 is closer to 180...guess ill find out when i go to pick er up off the ground LOL

when you do do the ZF/205 swap, make another nice long thread documenting everything that could possibly go wrong on such a swap so we all know exactly what not to do....lol
but seriously, I wouldn't mind a 205 one day if I do get to the point of one tons on this blue beast. And having the information to show me how it's done would be a good thing.

well i plan on getting the tranny/t-case...rebuilding it and put itall together and make sure it all works 5 times over..the take it to the shop and install it all LOL
i had a crazy idea too...if i start breaking axles il do the 1 ton rear end...then i coil spring a d60
how many times have you seen a coil sprung d60???
and thinking about it, it wouldnt be that hard...just gotta build rad arms and some form of lower coil bucket

fine burst my bubble
but a D60 swap is done with leaf springs a lot more than coil springs

why would that break stuff....0.05 of a gear off...whoopie ****, think that makes a difference in 3 feet of snow...no
3.50 and 3.55 the different is only noticeble on dry ground...and i did that once to make sure it was the t-case that was ****ed again...not something else
i think 4.56 and a twin stick NP-205 case will be a better combo LOL
