Check the ratio of the box is what you're expecting i.e 1.4* defender or 1.2* disco and not some odd ball ratio from a auto or something.
Remove the PTO cover, bearing carrier and the input gear so you can inspect the splines - replace with new if not cross drilled - seriously ...do not neglect to do that. Make sure the difflock lever is clean and working. Check speedo pickup is same as old one (swap it out if needed).
Some people can lift and fit the box with arm strength alone, I can't - I needed help by stacking sandbags/ blocks under it to get to a height where I could slide into place. It just a nut and bolt job otherwise. Linkages can be a bit of a fiddle.

i put a disco one in mine last week, first time iv done the job. took about 4hrs.
I put it a srtap on the box and lifted it from above then transfered it to a troly jack to get it in place.

is the point of the cross drilled just to aid oil flow?

yes, and it's essential oil is delivered to the splines. If it's an old box (70k plus) and it hasn't got a cross drilled already fitted then odds are it's already worn and shagged and will go pop at worst moment leaving you stranded without any drive.
