4HI conversion, it works!

ZEUS, the Trooper t-case has the 4LO lever only just like us, 2WD is just the TOD turned off and the front axle disengaged. if your looking for minimal parasitic loss I'd go with a fully mechanical t-case, and ditch the TOD. getting the Trooper TOD system to work with manual hubs just seem like a lot of work. I don't like the idea of having to get out and locking the hubs when i have the sudden urge to get the old girl all dirty.

It's not a lot of work... all you have to do is take the axle disconnect components from the Trooper axle and have a machinist fab up some mounts, driveshaft housing, driveshaft, and then rig the driveshaft to disconnect like the CV shaft normally would! It should only cost you around $3000! See, nothing to it!

Lololol! Heres one even better.

Go buy a good trooper, take the body off, have the VX body shell limo-stretched, and voila! Just dont forget to put the VX suspension goodies on the new ride!

SNOW TEST DOEN.... got 8 inches of heavy snow last night and drove around for a little over an hour in "4HI" with no problems. and the difference is very noticeable with it on then off. for any of you that have snowy winters, i highly recommend doing this mod. it's soooo much fun
