Probably so people can run this car on carpet without rebuilding ball diffs every week. Ease of tuning with fluids, reliability, and so on and so on.

So, for those in my boat who have a 1.0 that has all the previously-released upgrades:
Here's what I'm looking at that's a new part number for the 2.0 that would be needed to make a 1.5 into a 2.0:
Might actually be practical to convert! Frank, would I have a full "2.0" car with this list of parts? Can't seem to find TLR234065, which the diagrams list as the rear hubs, but I assume these are the same as the rear hubs from the 2WD 22 3.0?
Might as well get a couple other questions that are soon to come up out of the way too:
Can the new gear diffs be dropped in to a 22-4 1.0?
If I have the 22-4 Shorty Chassis, can it be used with the new belt covers & sub frame?
Hooray for new front arm/hingepin/spindle design, didnt see this highlighted in the video! Hopefully the new parts will be more durable! Adding a grooved slipper is another nice touch that I didn't see mentioned.
- Shorty Chassis
- Cab-Forward Body
- Front CVA Driveshafts
- Front & Rear Swaybar Kit

For those curious took the part numbers and put them in a image.

you will need 2 diff so that makes at least to $328 and thats only if you already had the cab forward body, sway bar set, 12.5° chubs, 2.5° toe plate, rear vertical camber block, 22 rear hub and maybe something else too.
I think is fair to say thats better to buy a new kit.

For those who want to convert current car to gear diffs -- will you need to buy the new front pivot and belt covers?

I do actually have all of those parts on my 22-4 already... but assuming you can sell your old roller for at least $130, then yeah, you might as well just get a new kit.

Was the front belt cover the only thing that people had an issue with maintenance wise? Is there any way to adjust front belt tension on the 2.0?

Ok, im not the most experienced guy on here yet but im gettin better each time out. Having said that, I love my 224 and durability wise it has been fine I think and considering that it has had to endure my learning curve I have broken 1 front arm so far and a rear universal. Hopefully I havent just cursed my car! LOL!
With that said, the 2.0 looks nice but I think that it is BS that TLR didn't make the gear diffs a drop in fit for the 1.0. Hopefully the front arms are a bolt on fit but considering the direction of most manufacturers today they probably don't fit either!
In any case not sure if I am gonna upgrade yet or not because I really like my 224 as it is right now. Hopefully TLR possibly puts together an upgrade kit for those that just wanna possibly upgrade there current car.
Something with the gear diffs, rear hubs, cva's, etc....
Either way can't wait to see this when my buddy gets his built!
