A simple shifter will take care of any issue of trying to drive both axles on dry pavement allowing you to shift from 2 wd to 4 hi. You cannot run this set-up in 4lo with the case turned backwards as I have done. The front axle would try to turn twice as fast as the rear axle if you did since the front axle is driven by what is normally the input from the transmission before the gear reduction inside the t-case. I seriousley don't think I'll have any issue. Check out USA6x6 sometime. The set-up they offer for about $3000 uses a gear driven set-up off of the front axle to give drive to the second axle and no possible way to stop the engagement of the second axle. Apparently it works just fine.
Yeah, I forgot about the differences is output speeds with turning the t-case around. I haven't seen a divorced 203 in person, I've seen pictures of them & adds for them being sold on Craigslist.

USA6x6 went outta business? I read lots of bad stuff about there customer service online, but you can hear that for just about any company online.
