I have been reading here and elsewhere that if you have a locker up front and out back that you rarely need your CDL. Please help.   Jim Reynolds (4x4xfar) Senior Member Username: 4x4xfar Post Number: 321 Registered: 05-2003 Posted on Tuesday, February 03, 2004 - 05:17 pm:    Get center diff lock first, but it is almost impossible to do on an '03 without major work/$$$.   Craig Kobayashi (Koby) Dweb Lounge Member Username: Koby Post Number: 1025 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Tuesday, February 03, 2004 - 05:31 pm:    Michael- Unfortunately you read wrong. The absence of center diff-lock will make a Detroit less effective.   Paul D.

There are a number of people / businesses selling these T-cases. Do a google search for Land Rover / British recycling and email the yards that come up. I am currently doing the same thing. LR warrantied my '00 D2 T-case with an 03 version.   Frank Rafka (Mongosd2) Dweb Lounge Member Username: Mongosd2 Post Number: 375 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Tuesday, February 03, 2004 - 05:40 pm:    Beat me to it Craig...   Jim Reynolds (4x4xfar) Senior Member Username: 4x4xfar Post Number: 322 Registered: 05-2003 Posted on Tuesday, February 03, 2004 - 05:44 pm:    Hey Paul if you will post what find that would be great.

He told me that he is trying to put together a kit to retrofit '03 t-cases with CDL. Said it will be another two months or so before he gets it together. It wouldn't hurt to call him and let him know that he would have another interested buyer when he gets the kit together. I have an '03 and CDL is my next project. However, I don't know if I can wait a few more months. I may try to get the parts togother myself.

The 04's have CDL, so maybe mine is bad. j/j I do however want to know what to look for incase mine does go bad and I am fortunate enough to get an 04 t-case. Thanks
