Powerstroke nailed it on the head ! there is A LOT of BS on this thread. Although Powerstroken also left all the ever so popular and best platform (imo) the Suzuki Samurai. propbably the easiest to make a twin stick. Also, just a very capable, cheap, easy rig that you can make to go anywhere.

No, divorced T-Case has NOTHING, and I mean NOTHING to do with doing front digs, with "locking or unlocking anything"

Divorced T-case is nice becuase its easily accessible. Makes for easy trail fix. Samurai's come stock like this.

Twin stick allows for 2-low and true neutral... thats it. Only advantage. Which is a good one for someone who is already full-time locked up front and takes their rig out on tight trails. You can pop it in 2 low relieving some stress from the front, making the turn a little easier on ya (samurai = manual steering... any help is useful)

If ya do decide to go your route with this truck, let me know. I will gladly give ya all the tips/tricks I know. Also will try and point ya in the direction of some of the parts ya need, or people ya need to talk to !
My suggestion: get a different platform to build a rig out of. There just isn't much out there for these trucks to become REAL wheelers. Unless you have SERIOUS fabrication skills, or money. Use your truck as the tow rig, and buy a samurai !

If ya decide to go this way anyways, let me know. I can offer ya some tips and tricks. Can help ya find some parts you need and some people you may need to talk to. I would also suggest searching over on Pirate4x4 . I know its another forum and all, but they tend to the more "hardcore" if ya will ? More of the "wheeler" crowd. Some guys with some real know how over there

** noticed the name: What position ya play ? How long ?
