It has been done numerous times. Takes a special custom mount to replace the
nose cone of the syncro trans..(I do have one by the way)
Need to install the diff lock hose,switch,etc to get it to function...(I
have that stuff as well)
Just sent one down to Arizona for a guy. Had the mount setup custom made by
Rocky Mtn Westy..
