    Before spending any money on you truck, find a junk yard with a totaled 4wd, take the tranny, transfer case and front diff.

    Exactly. That was strong!

    Ooh that's right. Hm. Lady would have my nuts in a vise though. I promised her new headlights and other things for her RSX.

    It would be worth it though...

    :laugh: :laugh:

    Sorry Rich but that's downright funny.

    If you really want to do a 4WD conversion on a 2nd gen I'd look here first, he has more info and knowledge than prob anyone on here.

    I have some options on the table, one of which is keeping this truck the way it is and buying a 4x4. Another is a 4x4 swap. And last but equally plausible is staying PreRunner and rocking the shit out of it. It did pretty damn well this past weekend IMHO. I'm impressed.

    Outstanding, thank you. I'll be spending several dozen hours reading through that I think.

    for me i think im going to go with either option 1 or 3. the 4x4 swap seems expensive and time consuming. i remember talking to colin about how a locked rear went pretty much anywhere his truck went and for me the 4x4 swap just wouldnt really be worth. right now im thinking lock the rear and buy a winch...or 2 LOL

    If you sell all of your heels, im sure youd have a sizable down payment for a 4wd

    So yeah, having a rear locker makes a world of difference but it has its limitations. Doesn't replace having four wheels providing traction though. Look what happened with me: I couldn't get the momentum and I got stuck. Having a winch would definitely help though.

    Buying a locker and winch would greatly benefit you (having a winch myself would also be of great use), not to mention its the cheapest solution, but do what makes sense for you.
