4x4 conversion

i have an 04 prerunner four door. have put a lot of thought to converting to 4 wheel. reason for converting is because in four more payments this baby is MINE, and i am a california transplant (im in alaska) and would love to go play in the snow. has anyone done this? if so what parts (aside from the obvious like transfer case, cv axles, driveshaft or shafts. any info is appreciated. a list would be nice, if possible. thank you in advance

 

There is the build thread of somebody who did it. Lots of pages to read through, but everything you need is in there.

 

found this:

havent done it but it seems to be a good guide from the 2 sentences ive read

 

and this

 

what kind of fab work? i glanced over the links you all sent. now here is another question. how far back do these parts go. meaning what year tacoma can i part from? and again, thank you all. now if any one wants to donate to the convert my truck to 4x4 contact me!

 

chances are i would do independent front end. smoother ride, yada, yada, yada. besides, i want a stocker, well as stock as a conversion can go... i dont plan to get radical with this thing. i would just like to have that second shifter in my truck...

 

try to find someone who is upgrading to a solid axle front and buy their stock parts...

recently, someone upgraded and sold their whole front end, axle to axle including diff, transfer case, and drivelines all for $900...
