Removed 4WD!
took off 150 lbs of stuff yesterday. and that was only the front diff and axles. also, found out the hard way that 2wd and 4wd hubs are different.

actually not hard at all. took about 2 hours. you either need to buy 2wd front hubs to replace the 4wd hubs, or, if you are cheap, remove the outer section of the axle that goes into the hub, and re-attatch it with the big nut. if not, the front hub bearings will fall out!

not as far as i can tell. the input shaft is just an internally splined shaft.
and no, the hubs bolt to the spindles, the spindles themselves are the same.
