I keep hearing of a ten speed set up but haven't seen anything yet!

200 bucks for the posi-lock seems really steep but to get rid of the vacuum lines properly,.,, well to me it is worth it!!!

if your 4wd works leave it. save up. i put a zip tie on my vac lines goin to axle to keep them from poping off . its worth it to get the "real" posi lock. if not you do run a slight risk of tearin something up and not having the peace of mind using bolts and washer trick or you can just make a plate to cover vac canister, and install shafts out of a hp dana 30.

first you gotta make it work. check the vac lines on axle is it engaging just not spinning front tires?

i know there are people that have rigged up their own "posi lock" systems using hood release cables and stuff... just a thought instead of buying the premade system
