I am in the final planning staged for my 80 series 4bt conversion. The only thing missing is the transmission. I want to keep it automatic and so the decision falls between these two transmissions. Criteria are as follows:
1) grocery getter/family transport
2) car camping
3) no rock crawling, bouldering, etc., seasonal use of fireroads only
4) alternative fuel vehicle, fuel will be turned down, no monster torque
5) no towing
I have talked directly to people that run both with mixed results on both sides. Now to the forum to hear from more individuals that drive these transmissions in their vehicles.
Also in the mix if I go 700r4 I can use an fj60 tcase with a two wheel drive transmission or retain the center locking 80 series diff with a 4wd version. Which would you choose?
