First I must agree on the safety issue. Second I'll give that the initial
cost is greater, but as far as weight, what difference is 3 or 400 lbs on
a 3500 lb vehicle gonna make?, not much, and as far as maintenence there
really is know extra maintenece other than checking the fluid level in the
transfer case occasionally, I don't see where all this extra maintenece
cost evryone keeps mentioning is coming from, most of my friends don't
even check the fluid in the transfer case and have still never had an
problems with the 4X......
