Like it or not, the santa fe shares some front end, especially the fenders, similarities to the VX

Luna,

It's your VX so you can do what you want. It should be possible to do what you're thinking about but you'll be blazing new trails here since obviously nobody on the forum has even considered doing that mod.

Do NOT put your VX in 4LO on dry pavement. The VX has enough grunt to pull a boat up the ramp in TOD. Some people do put it in 4LO for launching a boat or backing it into the driveway & 99.9% of the time nothing breaks ... but ... in 4LO there is no slip between the front & rear axles. If you're going in a straight line, OK, but as soon as you turn, the front & rear wheels take a different track & either tires have to slip or gears have to break.

Thanks for that onfo!... Now I really have no idea when I would need 4lo.

I guess I won't be invited to Moab... I'm gonna take my toy and go home. Didn't realize this was a 4wd only forum.

From what another member indicated, he puts his in 4LO to back his boat into the driveway alla time & never experienced any problems. In my old Samuraii the 4WD was very touchy in regards to dry pavement. My transfer case got wound up several times but luckly I was able to get it out without any damage.

If you insist on doing it, at least install locking hubs on the front wheels & leave them unlocked when in 4LO on dry pavement.

Don't take your toy & go home. Bring it to Moab & we'll show you what it was made for (I hope to make my first trip to Moab in 2011 ... we can learn together).

OK...Ill go easiser on ya than others have....

You simply need a transfer case out of an Axiom or TOD trooper, and the computer also...
This bolts right up with Zero driveline mods and allows all the same TOD, HI, LO functions...BUT it does not have the shift lever!!! It uses a small electric motor instead...

This will solve your issues....But you should still come to MOAB!
