He needs to get a Yamaha if he wants to ride with the big boys! LOL

They work good and in my opinion they are worth it, but they discontinued the Warn 4-2-4 Select and they are hard to find. As far as I know, nobody else makes them. Sometimes you can find them on Ebay.

Yes..if you can find a Warn 424! The Rancher becomes a better steering and play machine in 2wd. I had an 05 Rancher manual and that was the first mod I made...installed a Warn 424. Then I installed a front disc brake conversion and traded it towards the 07 Rubicon I have now.
The dealer sold that Rancher 3 days later.

Good luck finding one!

I love my 08 rancher "foot shifter" for that very reason. I can shift the side lever on the fly in and out of 4WD. You notice a huge change in stearing ease and rear wheel power to power slide in loose stuff and fell a better ride down the trail. with my new 27" 589s I hardly need the front wheel drive.
