Home made is a definite No-No.

4X4 conversion? forget it....much cheaperand WAY easier to just find a 4X4 and buy it.

what are the difficult parts of a 4x4 conversion? I've been chewing on that idea for a while. I mean, the frame is probably very similar, so the suspesnion parts from a 4x4 should match up, right?

I was also thinking of a NP205 divorced mount case, that way you don't have to mess with changing a 2wd tranny.....

so i must be overlooking something.....can someone elaborate? pretty please? lol

Thanks!
Scott

edit: oh yeah, im not afraid of a little fab work, if thats what its going to take...i come from offroad land. this was my old toy....i had a bit of time in the conversion of it too.
