Well I finally got off my backside and fitted the Marks 4WD Adaptors part time kit to my 80 series TD auto. What a difference it makes. It doesn't feel like its fighting the steering, the steering is lighter, it drives smoother and no more clunking in the drive line. I suppose all those that have fitted it have stated, "Why didn't I do this years ago?"
.
If you have an 80 or 100 series and have been thinking about it, don't think any more and just do it.
.
One word of advice though. Prior to fitting it make sure you have the correct torx bit for the AVM free wheeling hub screws. I had a torx bit kit but it didn't go small enough so had to dig through the shed to find one. Luckily I had one in a parts box under a bench.
.
Very happy Marks customer here.

Interesting Scott.
Mine was the complete opposite experience. I wished I had never done it ('94 GXL Petrol). Felt nowhere near as sure footed on the road and certainly much less so on gravel (unless I engaged 4WD, hubs, etc).
Maybe different geometry or something, but glad yours is an improvement. I wouldn't do it again though.
Cheers,
Matt.
