yes, it was easyer to put on a empty transfer case than have two tranny tails, and two drive shafts.

Things have sure changed,I guess. My 87 2.9 2 wheel drive has the drive shaft bolted to the back of the 5 speed. If thats not how it's done on a 91, how in the world is it done?? Whats the purpose of having an empty transfer case again?

i am not sure but i think its to minimize parts. the drive shaft and some other parts are the same, for 4wd and 2wd. I agree it sounds insaine.

Yeah, that must be it, it's simpler to install the same trans in all vehicles. The Haynes for my 87 mentions "A non-functioning transfer case is used on all 1987 & later 2WD Bronco-2 models." Interesting.

yes, thats were i got my info, also found this....

BORG-WARNER 1359
Used by: Two-wheel-drive Fords. Resembles a transfer case, but has no front output shaft or internal gears. The B-W 1359
was probably installed to avoid a separate driveshaft for rare 4x2 Bronco IIs.

it says probably, they dont know either, thats funny
