? Not when you fit a part time kit to an 80 or LR for that matter, you fit a spool to the centre diff, which converts it to rear whell drive, the front prop does no turn

I do agree though, its is a waste and only purpose it serves is for being a silly bugger.....it does reduce backlash in higher km cars, but so does reshimming the diffs:D

I suppose that if you unlocked both the F/W hubs and CDL the modification could prevent anyone driving away in your Deefer. That is until they decided to engage the CDL.

Diana :D

Leaving the transfer case in neutral will stop some people - including owners.

I responded to an American who emailed that his D1 had failed so he had to leave it and come back with a recovery vehicle (several hundred miles).

I suggested moving the transfer case lever into gear might help. It did. :D

Ok the reason i did the mod was because it is ment to help with drive line back lash (worst thing bout a landy ) reduce wear on the spline's of axles , an constant 4wd sucks in sum conditions it can cause bad understeer its just ****s me, i do lots of driven of gravel roads an just dont like bloody like it YES i do ****y little skids in a 200 tdi it twins up too!!No i dont drive around with my hubs unlocked CDL in because im too lazy to do the mod to the transfer case , it makes a sound like buggered bearing if do at 100kms , Ive driven lots of other 4wd's an i prefer handleing of part time 4wd
