I was mostly thinking of Herm as a source for the Warn type D18 o/d. The
unit that fits a D20 is a different animal entirely, consisting of a Borg
Warner 'electric' planetary o/d unit that has been adapted to fit the D20
rear output shaft. 2WD operation only, natch. Early Bronco sources seem to
be the best for digging up one of these, not sure if there are any fitment
issues due to differences in D20 applications('tho' Greg prolly knows...).
