Re: 1978 full-time 4x4. Is a 700r4 worth it?

My 78-203 Jimmy is part time with a kit,personaly I wouldn't do it now
the 203 needs to be in 4X4 to lube up,others don't.
I have manual hubs,a bad weather day,I leave them locked in,shift in/out of 4 wheel lock as needed
But I have been thinking of re-doing it back to full time again
In my case we drive it bad weather or storms
I find the Jimmy very light and fishtails easy in 4X2
I think the full time again would give me better safer grip
but when I got stuck in 4X4 Hi Lock,I undid the front hubs and still drove it home
