as far as im concerned, boat anchor!

Yup really heavy s.o.b to. Better off as boat anchors. Great for light offroading but are known for breaking a lot under hard play. I had great luck with the 1rst one I had but i was light playing with it, but when I got hard into floor jamming holes or ripping up and down trails the 2nd 203 didnt last long.

x2. i had one in the gold truck, i didnt like it because it was full time. which means no doughnuts, unless you get lockouts, or a part-time kit.

how light was the truck? gears? tires? the weight of moving parts has alot to do with it

OHEARN.2012 · May 25, 2011, 02:41:45 PM

DONT DRIVE that truck without front drive shaft .with just rear wheel brakes you will roll it

Proud and Powerful · May 26, 2011, 12:43:37 AM

go with the 205 or 208

bigmud44 · May 26, 2011, 12:48:24 AM

the problem with changing tc in that truck is the engine is back 8"down6" really short rear drive shaft not sure slip yoke would work

try finding a ford transfer case standard shift use the internal parts to get rid of slip yoke that is what i've been doing in my cj-7 and i have a really good driveshaft angle almost looks stock i'm running a 4-speed sm465 with a 205 before that i ran sm465 with a 208 both non slip yoke good luck hope it all works out for ya
