did you need an adapter kit for this or did it just bolt right up?

I'm working on a drivetrain swap for my 80, and my plan is to put a full 100 series drivetrain (2UZ, A343f/A750f, accompanying tcase) in place of the factory drivetrain. In addition to overland camping, I plan on using the rig for long highway trips all over the country, so I really don't wanna...
