Land Cruisers and Constant 4WD

A couple of years ago, some firm came out with a mod to the transfer case on 80 series, which removed the centre diff, and replaced it with a dog clutch. (Toyota were not impressed)
Can't remember the name. Anyone else help?

apart from fuel savings, why would you want to do this? I would be interested to know.

cheers.

I find that the constant 4WD is unnecessary for me. Having all of that mechanical effort wasted on the road seems a bit odd. Even just having the hubs locked all the time is a bit strange. Always has looked like a Toyota cost cutting measure.

I am not one to push the larger vehicles around on the road and I like to decide when I need the 4WD. I do not mind getting out of the vehicle to lock the hubs.

This is forming part of the decision making process in the replacement of my totalled GU. I loved the GU, however, I am also an admirer of the Toyota - I am not a hard and fast this car or that car type of person.

As well in the process is other minor issues such as spare wheel placement, comfort items, roof rack support, whether my partner the kids like it and so on. So if the fulltime 4WD can be made into a part time 4WD at a reasonable cost, then that will be a tick in the Toyota column.
