The crossmember thing is negligible on a montero i think, The 3.5L SR T-case weighs more than 2 standard T-cases and it's larger than 2 lengthwise. So really the only additional stress comes from the extra gearing but you'd have to be kinda asking for trouble pushing 8000RPM's with 10.something to 1 T-case ratio.
