how difficult would it be to turn my taco into a 4x4?

I have a pre runner 2 wheel drive and would like to make it a 4x4, is it possible?

 

Yes. Search around this forum. Been done a few times with photos to see how it came out

 

Why not buy one with 4x4? Probably way cheaper and easier.

Yup, there's a couple guys up here that have done it. Take a look at some of their threads.

Much less difficult to trade it in for a 4x4

 

Lot quicker too.

 

Just change the mudflaps.

 

Best answer ever!

 

note to self change mud flaps. hahaha good one

 

Yeah in the southeast we have this thing called mud.

 

Mud. Mud! That's totally ludicrous. Everyone needs 4x4 for the mud, not the snow and ice. Watch out for those gravel roads, they're dangerous in 2wd. You should get 4x4. Don't want you to start making threads about you being stuck in a gravel ally somewhere in 2wd.

 

LOL...That was awesome.

 

x2

 

What's snow? Ice? Those gravel roads are hell man. What about the speed bumps at the mall. 4 Lo for sure.

 

Yeah you don't want to get high centred on a speed bump in 2wd at the mall. How embarrassing.

 

You haven't seen our speed bumps.

 

Are they long and high enough to where a small car can sit perfectly on top of them?

 

Easy trade it in for one.

 

On tacomaworld for the first time in weeks and the first two threads I post in are asking maximum tire size on stock suspension, and how to convert to a 4x4. Talk about picking up right where you left off, eh?


EDIT: To answer OP's question, if you have to ask, it's too hard.
