I picked up the SLABS from roverlandparts.
I am looking for the 04 linkage as well. Do you have one? I was originally going to buy the Britpart kit DA1178, but its only compatible with the 99-01 transfer cases (41d, 42D). I don't have the nipple, so I am buying an 04 case (68D) that I will rebuild with new bearings and seals (maybe gears). I think the only reason they are not compatible is that the 99-01 case had the diff lock solenoid on the case, whereas the 04 has it on the shifter linkage. It could be a matter of simply adding the solenoid to the 04 case, but I'm not sure.
My understanding is the 04 slabs had superior traction control /cdl handling. If you cut the wire, and don't replace the slabs, you'll lose tc and have reduced abs..? Again, not sure. Whatever, I bought the slabs. Hopefully it isn't an SLS programmed unit... and if it is, I hope my Lynx tool can reprogram it.
