RONAN Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I drove an 87 around for almost 2yrs without the back half before locating a assembly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 so long as you have a working center differential lock it will work fine. a PT4WD trans or locking center diff full time 4WD box will do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
