    I'm thinking its has all 3 TOD, 4hi, 4lo. Actually I just looked thru the manual and it appears this is wrong. If you want 4hi you give up TOD....

    I'm reasonably sure, after a few conversations on the stoop in Moab, that you would also need the computer & frt axle from the donor Trooper.
    The Troop frt axle is vacuum controlled, which would also need to be addressed...http://www.4x4wire.com/isuzu/tech/fwd_lockout/?

    I don't understand the vacuum actuator mechanism but I did look at the Trooper info in the manual and there is a 4 bolt flange coming out of the front pumpkin to connect to a more robust front drive shaft. If TOD is present on the Trooper then it has a round 6 bolt flange to connect to the limp wristed Front TOD shaft. At least the length of Trooper and VX front shafts are identical 22.7 inches. So I'm with Chris - the next move may be a 4 hi transfer case with no TOD wiring!!!

    I believe it's for the shift on the fly function.

    That is a bad thing? This would allow you to have 2hi, 4hi, 4low, like our JDM cousins. Less electronics is a good thing, especially as our vehicles get older. The less wires, the more reliable
