I have an 02 and it was full time. I installed the 4-2-4 and it works great.

are you sure you didn't buy a left over 2001 in 2002? A lot of people make that mistake. Just look at the sticker on the frame, should be around the front bash plate, it will say the year. I'm not sure about the older Honda's but I know there is a sticker on the frame under the seat also, it says TRX650FA5, the last number is the last number of the year. 2005. I'll have to check the 350 to see if its like that too.

The TRX450 had selectable 4wd starting in 2002 ...

I have one I may let go, so let me know before you order. I ended up with a 2002 that has 2x4 selectable.

You will love the 424 Kit... Put one on my Rubicon few weeks ago, now I enjoy riding it more than the Rincon. At least for now, until the thrill wears off.
