New KK = high $$ ?
Not locally We are still "compact" enough that most people drive probably 100 miles or less per week or like us they drive 400+ and own less car This is why a well equipped Corrola is $20k So if you drive a lot they "take you behind the wood shed" on a dinky little car Or if you don't...- J-Thompson

New KK = high $$ ?
Not really worried about the $11k in inflation But nearly 50% is a bit much The fact that Toyota and Nissan both are bigger get better mpg and offer more power for the same or less money something is wrong? Then if we step up to the WK ,Grand With a V8 and the same equipment as the big dogs over...- J-Thompson

Only to find...- J-Thompson

Slip yoke eliminator kit
Does not matter what vehicle you have the SYE is only t-case related Now the required new drive shaft will be "custom" Probably best purchased from a place like Tom Woods How ever any drive shaft with the correct u-joints and a slip joint can be cut and balanced- J-Thompson

Transfer Case Rebuild
You will need to do some "fab work" For the 2wd low kit to work but it will as long as you have the 231 case I would do the HD chain This will basically give you a 241 less a little oil I would also do the 2wd low kit- J-Thompson
