I like the 2wd thing. Do you get the 10% that went forward, out back, or is it just lost in the hardware? I'm thinkin', Rodeo 4x, or Trooper, manual, bones as the starting point

I truly like driving the VX in 2wd. When the tranny shifts, it sets you back - everything feels more free. You need to realize too though, I knocked out the weight of the front axle assembly and the front driveshaft. But there must be less strain at the tranny right? There are only 2 wheels getting in the way - the front two are just coasters! Anyway, I do feel the TOD robs acceleration and power.

I must have missed a thread somewhere. I had no idea you were true 2wd. I thought I had always read it was not possible, even if you did disconnect the TOD wires. Is your 2wd selectable? How is this done?

Go for it Nerve ! ! ! If my engine ever goes I'm going sb chevy LS1 (there getting cheaper) or maybe the LS2 (still pricey) w/Auto Trans or there about, But nerve it will be 2wd with TOD out and the stance alittle lower. Then I'll have a trans and TOD for sale, ooops make that two TOD's For Sale I still have a brand new OEM wrapped up and sitting on standby for me or a fellow VX'r...

Well, when I say "I knocked out the weight of the front axle assembly and the front driveshaft."... that means I removed the front axle assembly and front driveshaft. I have been 2wd since May while I weighed out collecting parts to rebuild my IFS... or going SAS, which i have passed on... for now.

That's definitely badazz. But a RWD VX is cool too...once all that hardware, TOD, hubs and all are exorcized. Nothing like losing some weight, to make you feel good.

Well I have looked at my financial situation and it is on hold for now what with going back to college and all. But it will come sonn and I'm going to find a cheaper way to do it. But I really want to do it and I still intend to.

Any hope you'd spare butchering the VX and get an early Amigo to satiate your wheeling desires? It's basically a VX that's already got most of what you want done from the factory.
