my buddy Lance just picked up a nice 4x4 beater project RC. It is pretty rough but it runs and drives and will make an excellent toy. Is there any way to manually actuate the front axle CAD so that the axle is locked in @ all times? Is the vacuum hose snake that is on the transfer case vital to the operation of the transfer case? keep in mind that this system appears to be completely jacked as far as the vacuum system is concerned and it will be used off road only. thanks for any input guys!
There's 4x4PosiLok and right now there is free shipping at Summit.

Noah, I found this article on RCC. This might be a cheaper alternative.

That's what I did to my 85 to disable the CAD, granted, I have a full-time 4x4 case so I had to have it locked in. But it's easy to do and if you get hub lockouts, those are a nice upgrade.
I have locked the CAD on two of mine, and put on locking hubs. Never regretted it, and didn't cost much
Did mine. Very easy to do.
