Hi Chris,

The reason is that the 2WD kit includes syncro type front hubs, so the
front wheel connections go from the current 2WD configuration of
bolts, to the syncro configuration of studs all around. Since syncros
already have studs up front they don't need the new hubs.

I actually purchased a 2WD kit in the SA group purchase but before
installing it I sold my 2WD and bought a syncro. I never used the hubs
but have held onto them because I had no idea what I should ask for
them on eBay, but I suppose I should have just considered the
differential between 2WD and 4WD kits to determine that price.

I can p-mail you pics of the hubs if you are interested...
