Thanks for the reply Snowtoy.

1. When you say an adapter, you refer to an adapter that alters my transmission bolt pattern, but where can I buy that adapter?
Correct, the adapter changes the bolt pattern of your V6 R150 transmission to the 4 cylinder gear driven transfer case, andI thought it was in the first link.  Must have copied the wrong one, here is the correct link of what you will need once it is back in stock.

2. When you say buy or build my dual cases with 23 spline, you gave me this link (https://www.marlincrawler.com/transfer-case/built-units/hilux-gear-drive/dual-case-complete), but that is for 4cyl and I have a v6 case, wouldn't this be the appropiate link (https://www.marlincrawler.com/transfer-case/dual-case/hilux-gear-drive-conversion/dual-case-complete) ? or, could I adapt a 4cyl duals cases to my R150F trans?

That is the correct link, you will need to acquire two complete 4 cyl. transfer cases, to use in your build, along with two 23 spline input gear kits.  The 23 spline t-case is what was used with the 22re turbo trucks built in the -86-'87 model years, and are what is needed to handle the torque of the v-6, the 21 spline 4 cyl. gears will break.

Looking at the site, it looks like you will spend about $2400 for duals, plus whatever your local driveline shop charges to modify your drivelines, guessing another $500, and you will also need to get a dual case crossmember/skid plate, or have something fabricated using the existing x-member.

What type of wheeling do you do or plan to do?

'91 Blue X-cab 22re, 35's/5.29's,Truetrac front, ARB rear, dual cases, and custom Safari flatbed, bumper, interior.
