Two wheel low kit

I just finished installing a 2 wheel low kit on a 2001 six speed and a 1997 five speed. This kit is a little different than most of the others . It does not use any electrical hookups, it does not allow the front axleCAD to be without vacuum on either side of the actuator while in 4WD, and can engage and disengage the front axel any time the transfer case is in four wheel drive. This means that you don't have to flip a switch BEFORE you shift into 4WD. To get 2WD low just pull the transfer case leaver into low range. Then if you want 4WD just pull the knob and it will engage the front axle. Now if you want to go back to 2WD low push the knob back in. To protect the front axle the system is set up so that it can not be engaged until the transfer case is shifted into 4WD. If anyone is interested I can put together a kit for the 1998- 2001 for about $70.00, slightly more with the shifter mount for the 1994-1997 models.
