You have to decide for you, what you want. There are solutions to the iwe issue. And people have had great success with them. A forum member that used to be on here way back in the day ran an...
like mentioned, a lot of vehicles have a live axle. It's not as big of a deal as a lot of people want to think it is. having things constantly spinning doesn't drop your MPG much at all, if any. It's free spinning. it's not taking any power when in 2wd to spin itself. there is no load on any of...
