Part Time 4WD Conversion Kit
Marks 4WD Adaptors manufacture a part time 4WD conversion for the 80 and 100 series HF2A full time 4WD transfer case as fitted to all RV, GXL, and Sahara Landcruisers manufactured from 1990 on.
Note: This kit will not fit vehicles fitted with viscous coupled centre diffs.
The 100 series full time 4wd front axle splines are larger than the part time 4wd 100 series and the previous 80 series model Landcruisers, for this reason we have manufactured free wheeling hubs to suit.
If your vehicle is fitted with ABS brakes the kit can be fitted but the ABS malfunction light will appear and the brakes will revert back to STD (non-ABS). To prevent this the free wheel hubs can either not be fitted or simply engaged when ABS is required.
The prototype conversion was first fitted to our 6.5 Chevy diesel 80 series in September 1999. The conversion gave the vehicle a new lease of life with improved handling, better acceleration, and lighter steering.
The steering no longer has a tendency to pull hard when powering out of a corner, this must add up to less wear and tear on the steering components such as the tie rod ends and steering box. The steering has also become more direct or positive.
The acceleration has improved due to the reduction in losses associated with driving the front differential, drive shaft, and CV joints. With these components no longer being driven, a considerable increase in their service life can be expected.
The fuel consumption also improved by at least 5% in my vehicle while other people have reported as much as 10%.
