you can spool with out hubs, this is like a early Tacoma, front end still spins but not under power, just by the tires via drive flanges.
You can have hubs with out the Spool, this requires the center diff to be locked and the hubs unlocked for 2WD. front driveline still spins but the tires are not powered since the hubs are unlocked. doughnut time, not torque steer, etc. no need to remove the driveline to get 2WD.
in the event of a front diff failure with hubs and with out a spool you will need to drop a driveline.
during the development of this kit i put 1000's of miles on my truck with hubs and a center diff while i got the t-case parts together for the spool, underdrive and low range gears.
top mod. full stop. I drive gnarly canyons all winter, my wife drives it also no problems.
@merbesfield PM me and we can have a phone conversation that can clear everything up for you, talk Tundras, 100's, and LV's....
@krispykritter where are you moving?
