    I briefly considered gutting it and making it rear drive only, for the same reasons. I doubt the TOD has ever been engaged ever in mine. I have to remember to go on a shell road every year or so, just to stick it in low low for a mile or so. (I had the VX for maybe 4 years before ever used lo at all....it was tough to engage because of it....now doing it every year or so seems enough to keep it loosened up) 2WD makes more sense for me too

    TOD engages every time you drive over 5mph. Watch the green lights, if you stomp on it, it may even go higher than just the first bars.

    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

    other than the 5/95 or 10/90 split (or whatever it is nominally) It's never been in any low traction situations is what I meant

    ohhhhh, my bad. I too would like an honest to goodness 4high. I am not a huge fan of drivetrain electronics, electronic lockers and so on. If you get em wet, or a bad electrical connection, broken wire, you are screwed. At least with manual stuff, you can always over ride something or rig something up, and it doesn't care about water
