the popping out of 2WD, would be a spring that is worn out. You are correct, rebuildling a 221 will get expensive. I liked mine much more than the NP205 I'm running now.

That being said, I had to fab a new cross member for the carrier bearing, and shorten the rear drive shaft, when I converted to the 205. IIRC, the front d/s will be OK.
