Just curious if anyone has tried. Anybody ever considered half way converting a 2wd to a 4wd? What I mean by this is installing on a 2wd the transfer case part of the 4wd, so you would get the lower gear ratio when locked in 4x4, but would still have 2wd truck as there would be no front axle or driveline connected. I would believe it would work for pulling power and such as I basically did this to one of my Jeeps once, but it is a 4x4. I did some work on it and had to lock my manual hubs in when putting it back together. Well when I finished, I forgot to unlock them. Long story short, next time I went wheeling in it, I locked in the 4x4 and spun the manual hubs to lock them in without looking and actually UNLOCKED them, so I had the gearing of the 4x4, but only 2wd as my front hubs weren't locked in. And I still went everywhere the other Jeep I was with went without problem.
