Ok this is a vid from 4WD Shed where they fit a part time 4x4 mechanism to an 80. Now, I don't actually hold with what they say in that it will improve the economy. I drove my 80 in 2wd only for some time when my diff was out for repair and my economy most definitely suffered and so did my handling. But that aside, it's a very interesting look at taking the rear housing off a Tbox in situ and a look at the centre diff. No special tools required and useful to just know what's in there should you ever be in trouble. I'm not exactly sure why the kit is necessary. With the FWH at the front, you could presumably just lock the centre diff? If anyone has an explanation I'd like to hear it. I genuinely didn't get replacing the Centre diff component; I'm clearly being a bit thick. But effectively it would seem to be mechanically locking the transfer box. Perhaps some of the Aussie models don't have a diff lock?
Bloke is pretty methodical and other than the complete lack of a torque wrench, not a bad teacher.
Here it is.
