I have a 2004 Rancher ES 350 and a 2002 Rubicon. Any opinions out there about the pro's & con's of installing a 4wd to 2wd conversion kit? Appreciate any knowledgeable input. Would also like to know about difficulty of installation & cost. Thanks again!!!

 

if you buy the 4wd-2wd it'll be easier to steer, you'll feel like you've got more power...itll be alot more fun to drive. my friend put one on his wolverine and it was a whole new quad...it took them about 2 hours i think...they give u good instructions that say 2-4 hours installation time. you can pick up the warn kit for about $230 from www.4atvtires.com.

 

Don't know if it will be much different from my installation on my Wolverine,had to pull some a-arm bolts to get at the differential to move it forward and pull the front driveshaft,but a couple of hours will usually get the job done. It is like a different quad in 2wd, turns much tighter, you can really spin the back and whip it around the corners, and feels more like a sport quad on the trail ,and if it gets rocky or deep, push the button, and you are back to 4wd, some of the best money I spent was on the Warn 424, hard to go wrong if you work and play on your quad.

 

I own a '01 Rancher. I installed the Warn unlocker back last November. I've done alot of riding on my Rancher since then and I can say it was money well spent.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Yes! Its worth it. It won't tire you out as much in 2WD on those long all day rides. Get it, you'll like it.

 

Def. worth it! Why do you think most come w/ selectable 2/4wd from the factory?
