I'll try and explain the lessons learned and solutions I came up with in order to fit this into the jeep successfully behind the Cummins 4BT.Here's a link to the details of the SM465 and the kit we used to attach it to the NP231.This is basically to serve as a general overview on how to make this happen and the little things that made it happen.Lessons Learned
