Sequoia Family Crawler

Transmission is the stock A340 2wd Sequoia edition with 5 pinion rear planetary. I modified a 98-01 XJ AW4 output shaft and used the AW4 4wd adapter to mount up the NP231. A pickup VSS fit in the housing and should read the XJ 4 pulse ring but hasn't been tested yet.
 
That will be awesome once it's all together and working. I would've just swapped in a 4x4 trans and t-case but I'm not as smart as you are to figure out all that stuff.
 
Can you wire up the e brakes independently and use them as cutting brakes?
 
Only reason for the odd ball setup was to reduce the price of installing a doubler. Definitely not easier or quicker.

You could wire up the ebrakes for cutting but the couple reviews I've read from others that have them working is they are easily driven through so probably not too effective. Also would need a selectable rear locker and the Ford e-locker jumped in price from $500 to $900 so I may end up up with a $400 racheting one to save cost

You got any shaft pics?

Of the modification I mean.

Still working away on this thing, been able to get a couple solid weekends in and getting close to the end. Somehow the to-do list gets longer as I cross things off though so that's aggravating.

Got the front bumper done for now, will get a skid plate later.

Got the steering box ports for the assist welded up and built the pitman arm brace.

I like the hard brake line on the front axle. Makes it way easier and better than long lines that might get caught on something as it all moves and flexes out.

Also double ended ram as a tie rod is cool too since it has equal steering each way.
 
Equal force is why I went that way. Admittedly I have never driven with a single ended ram but it didn't seem like something I wanted.
