someone needs to set up a food truck out front of ECGS it sounds like.

 

Ill set up a hummus/tofu stand

 

reread, I said FOOD

 

Let's go shooting at the new gun range

 

Ish. I've never done the conversion, but I know a couple people that did on different vehicles. The one thing people seem to forget is that the computer might be different as well. And, it's a lot of parts, not just a couple things that you gotta swap. It just takes time, mostly.

As for a 2wd in dry conditions, you should be fine on some of the smaller trails. URE doesn't get soupy, it gets turtle shit-ty as @Sandman614 likes to say.

Also, check my sig

 

using OEM parts or a SAS ? the toughest, most costly part would be the transmission/t-case, if you stay OEM you'll need to find a 4wd trans and t-case, direct bolt in. then front drive shaft, front drive unit ( I have one I'll sell soon, 3.90 gear, includes ADD actuator and right side housing and mounts, I know it's good, it's still in my Runner, just the wrong gear ratio for the rear) need to figure out what your front hub/spindle situation is, there were a few different styles, CV axles are pretty cheap these days

If you SAS, do you have a 2 piece rear driveshaft ? perfect opportunity for a divorced T-case, and shorten the rear driveshaft and loose the carrier bearing ( though you'll need a shirt shaft between trans and t-case ) then you also get to choose driver or passenger drop axle, and you get to loose the rack and pinion steering. probably gain 4-6" of lift in the process

who e lot of other things to consider, just a run down of the basics

ready to start yet ?

no its not

 

It was?

 

Yea I found a transmission/ tcase combo w/ 100k miles for $400 the other week.....it would be direct ifs swap, so hopefully that would cut down on the custom fab

If my prices are accurate, it could be done for around $1500-$1600, then I could sell my 2wd transmission to make some money back

On the other hand, I would hate to get some bad parts and end up spending double just to get everything working right.....oh decisions decisions

 

@Mothman I gotta work on re-recording and customizing a script and then run a test with it. Idk if I'll make it out there. Damn developers changing their code conventions every release...

 

No problem. My boss is gonna come get lunch and go gun shopping so it's cool.

 

Well, the 3:90 front drive unit I have is good and useable, it's still in my runner, the rear was regeared before I bought the truck to 4:10. I have a 4:10 to swap in, just hasn't been any rush to do it. Mostly I work in equipment all week, don't really feel like tearing into my own junk unless I have too (head gasket)
$100 if you wanna help me swap em out, that's what I was offered for core from ECGS couple years ago. It will have the outer extension housing and vacuum actuator on it

 

Body mount bushings!
