My NP203 has a Doug Nash part time conversion kit and beefer chain. The nash kit makes it so the chain and front driveline is only engaged in 4wd. It also has warn hubs so you can have it in 4wd but not have any load on the transmission. It has been used as a work and hunting truck in some pretty hairy situations and I always ran out of nerve before the truck gave out. If I had done more research at the time of conversion (1985) I would have went with a NP205. I have not done any research on the NP208.
