Simplicity for a start, it comes with the transfer case already there. I think it would be easier to adapt the Hilux box to the motor than the transfer case to the Lexus auto.

the surf trans bolts straight to the lexus motor.just change bellhousing and pump etc. the transfercase will also bolt to the lexus trans and this way the lexus computer will run the trans from what ive seen and been told

well the hilux and lexus share the same trans, what they do is put all the lexus trans guts in to the hilux v6 surf gearbox that all ready has transfer on the back, but in all and all put a holden v6 in your hilux better option easy to work with cheaper motors more room less heating trouble and the starter ant in the vally cover and no probs with manifolds clearing steering
