Not exactly sure on what i'd pay

I guess it would depend on the condition it was in, saw one for sale on here a little while ago for $100. Does that sounds like a reasonable price?  :confused:  There aren't many boneyards with yotas in them around here so I can't go off of that either  :dunno:

i think I could get a 2wd IFS box, but I dont think they mount in as strong
Sand, what fun, drop pressure to 12psi, stock tires are still digging, can't afford to get stuck, 8psi, still not working. Find a place to GET OUT, air up, un-lock hubs,  WAIT whats this, hubs are UN-LOCKED already. 2wd, 8psi, stock tires, Oregon sand dunes.

Do you know for sure if the mounts are as strong or not?

If they are i'd be interested.

I honestly think it only uses two mounting bolts.......sounds kinda iffy to me... It uses the same idler arm setup, so, it would work.....BUT, if your gonna use it, I would make sure you use a GOOD stabilyzer. Im 99% sure its only a two bolt mounting setup, but, if you want it, I will go see if its still there

Sounds a little iffy to me as well if it only has two bolt locations

 :headscratch:

I'd rather call it safe than sorry and go with more strength.

i can add that the manual steering box for the 2wd does mount with 2 bolts mounted to the frame... i have seen the ifs 4x4 box, and it mounts a lot more solidly than the 4x2
