    Does 98 have 4wd ECU? I tough that started with some 2001 (VSC + pushbutton) trucks.
    Plus + Manual hubs so no ADD in that setup (Lucky bastard :mad:)

    you will need a 4wd tranny, or you can just change the output shaft to a 4wd one in the tranny.

    PM gscott, he just did a conversion on his

    That's a really good deal if it includes the t case diff and cv's. But that's a smokin deal, and yeah you need an output shaft or 4x4 tranny.

    uhm i beleive its either trail gear or marlin crawler that make an adapter for the tranny so you dont have to get a 4wd one or change the output shaft not 100% on that though

    This is true but it won't mate up to a stock t case, you have to go with a marlin crawler or inchworm lefty, which are expensive, this is the easiest and most expensive way to do the swap, guy on ttora did it this way ended up being around 5k, but it's the easiest IMO
