you just need to put a ball valve in your intake, that will save fuel..

| So I have decided that this will be the 4x4. I will take out the spicer and give it a peerless 920 in the back and the aws tranny in the front. the front tires can turn 35% and the aws only 20%, so that may be a problem. plans for the drive is a double pulley on the rear and run the stock belt to it as the clutch, and the bottom will run the front and just have a tentioner to keep the belt tight. pics to come soon. | |

| I would make this into a utility, and rebuild the aws tractor, and make that into an awesome off roader it should work good as your rear tires can move and get better traction | |
