I tested it in the dirt and sure enough that is exactly how it works. 2wd in 4H and 2 rear wheels lit up on the TOD display. 4LOW and I get 4LOW with all four wheels lit up on the TOD display. I've been driving it this way for a year or two and seems to have had no problems other than that dang blinking light. So I refinanced the house and now I can do some other things like put a turbo kit on my MR2 and try some new gears for the VX. I checked some sites and found that the ring/pinion is a 8.5 10 bolt as used on some other Jeep models and GM models. Man you guys ask alot of questions.
Don't worry about the questions.
Remember, on this site you are a newbie, and we have no idea of your mechanical expertise, driving habits, long term goals etc.
So when you ask for our advice, we need to ask questions so that the advice we give you is accurate and relevant.

For instance, we now know you are driving on one of the smallest diameters tyres that could be fitted to the VX, and possibly the easiest, cheapest options for you would be to buy larger tyres. Especially if your tyres are getting worn anyway.
Your tyres are about 29" diameter.
Most of the people here run 31 - 35" dia.
Is this a feasible solution??

FWIW anything over about 32" you have to do a little bit of trimming to the front wheel wells.

Anyways, sounds like you know what you are doing.
