I'm really only interested in the standard options anyway. It may be nice to have front wheel drive only but the only time I could see using that is if I broke a rear driveshaft and then I could just "stick-it" into 4wd and have front wheel drive anyway. As for 2wd low...well again nice to have but not really necessary for my application.
I'd like to have just the standard options of 2wd hi, 4wd hi, and 4wd low. That has really been my qwerstion all along. And just for my own clarity, if I position the shift links onto the shift rails just like the np 200 original won't this thing shift just like original? Or is the shift pattern of the 205 different than the 200? Thanks for the help you guys.

Thanks Boondockster and Taco, those were very informative well written articles. I got alot out of them and I'm doing a google search on np205 tonight. Looks to me like if I wanted to just run straight configuration I can just hook it back together like original and....viola'. I'll post pics tonight too.

Not 100% sure if the 205 is the same as the 200, but pretty darn sure. The 200 is the same as my 202. It's real simple, first lever towards the seat is to engage front drive shaft, the 2nd lever towards the dash is to engage high, which is all the way forward, and then there is neutral, and pulled all the way back only after you have engaged the front driveshaft will you get low. It's the same as on your data plague on the dash. If you want two wheel drive low range simple don't lock in your hubs, you should install some if you haven't. I did cut the strap that connects the two levers together only because it was limiting what I needed to fully shift the 202. I modified the shift linkages to fit and work properly, it was actually quite simple and a lot of fun to make all this work. Just know which shift rail on your t case is for front drive shaft engagement and the other is high low. You won't need to take out the detents and change the shift rails for front wheel drive only. And you can have two wheel drive low range if you simple don't lock in your hubs. Hope this helps.
