TJ,

Syncros have splined hubs. 2wd's are smoothies.

Syncros have separate hub and rotor. 2wd is one piece. Doesn't mean
you can't put studs in your rotors. Screw in or press in.

If you upgrade to SA style big brakes, you get a similar system to
Syncros only with smoothie hubs. Others have cut down old rotors in
place of the SA hubs too.
