2nd gen prerunner to 4x4 conversion

Enjoy.

Other than the crawler box everything else should be very similar if someone wanted to do this

Want

 

Ray was with us on the last Orange County trail run I organized...it's so much sexier in person...and his bulldog "McLovin" is a great addition! He is on these boards too!

BTW, I want do my fender flares like his.

 

I really wanna do this (minus the crawl box) once i get my truck paid off. I think the hardest part would be fabbing up a new cross-member for the shorter tranny. My old man has a welding shop so that shouldn't be too hard

 

I want to do this so bad. Super clean install too!

 

good read. I've been working on my own conversion for the last 2-3 years and it's almost exactly as posted above.

The only difference with mine is i'm planning to keep the factory 4wd switch and use the 4wd computer. the more I actually dig into the dash, the more I find that the 2wd/4wd are pre-wired for both and just have certain connectors tapped off.

I'm also planning on using the inchworm t-case adapter.

as it is right now, I have the front driveline(axles,diff,hubs) installed and its just free-rolling until I have enough funds to get the last bits for the t-case connection.

A new y-pipe or the 4wd y-pipe is needed and i'll have to modify my own crossmember for the rear of the trans.

so far i've spent about $1600 for parts off a donor truck..maybe by the time i'm done it'll come out about the same as buying it with 4wd new....but I must say, its been a long fun learning process.
