Seriously its been tough as its too tall and long for my dinky two car garage. Working in the driveway sucks. That and apparently its not cool to be running a grinder or a welder with little kids underfoot.
My plan was to go with a NV4500, but now I'm considering just adding a Ranger Torque Splitter. It goes in front of your 4 spd and has direct and overdrive. So you get your overdrive gear, and can split other gears. Plus its alot cheaper, and would be cool to have more sticks!

I too have been looking at getting a Ranger spliter for different project. The only negative feedback I have found is that they can be noisy.
As much as I don't like working under the truck in the driveway all I have to do is think back to my days doing repairs on logging equipment in the woods and it all seems pretty good. The problem was using my buddies body shop for the paint and body work. It sure didn't take long to get spoiled using a two post lift.
