that makes sense , tidy pick up

2wd and 4x4 props are completely differant i'm afraid
the way it connects to the box(2wd=slip joint, 4x4=bolt onto rubber donut)
think the length is a little differant as well but not 100%
but either way you'll need a differant prop

lol good its not just me then lol
the reason i ask about your 4x4 p100 is you got me thinking when you said about the gearbox lol so i maybe get away with that power (380-400) as i am not a hard driver and it will not be driven all the time , and the bigger .63 seems to help , so only time will tell once its done lol

its not the power that kills the box's its torque
so it can be mapped to give a little torque away to keep the box a little bit healtier
where do you live? i use a place in bonnybridge near falkirk to make/mod propshafts
had a few done now, reasonably priced, any bother i'm sure they could sort you out
