ZackeryNM Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 I'm not saying that I have the time or the means right now, how hard do you think it would be to convert my 720 regular cab 2.4L from a 2x4 to a 4x4. What would that all require. transfer case, lift etc? the truck runs like a champ right now, I just want to have functionality (moar funs) with it. I do not have working camera so the only picture I have is the picture on my profile. This isn't as urgent as the guys with issues, just things running through my head. Ohh and this truck is as stock as it could possibly be. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment
Skulptr Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 Not sure if you can. But I have an entire 4x4 system when you find out Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 Definitely get a 4x4 frame with all the goodies on it and just swap your motor/transmission and body over. The 4X4 frame is too different. If you weld the transfer case cross members in, the output and driveshaft go right through another crossmember just behind it. I had to weld in this steel hoop to allow it and yet not weaken the frame. The body also sits higher on a 4x4 frame to clear the trans case and front differential. The torsion bars are differently mounted also. . Quote Link to comment
ZackeryNM Posted December 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 Good stuff to know. Thanks guys. I've never had to do anything other than usual maintenance so I haven't researched the truck much, sounds like I'll just stick with 2wd for now. Quote Link to comment
elmerfudpucker Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 just grab a 4X4 720, there are several floating around here in WA. Quote Link to comment
dreadsiren Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 I agree just find a 4x4, the 2x4 is totally different Quote Link to comment
ZackeryNM Posted December 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 Not yet. I'm gonna invest my time and money into the Volkswagen, the car is a money pit. The nissan is my reliable daily/ work truck. plenty of time to find a different toy later. Quote Link to comment
Skulptr Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 hey, YOU, ZACKERY, want to switch to 4x4 for DIRT cheap??? look at my location... i have an 86 4x4 with everything but an engine and transmission just sitting, getting ready to go to pull n save..... Quote Link to comment
ZackeryNM Posted December 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 Well sounds great on paper, but I'm not in a position for another project. How much did you have in mind? Quote Link to comment
Skulptr Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 Less then 200 delivered, with the title. I may even be able to help you move the engine n tranny over. Its doable over night with a garage... Quote Link to comment
Skulptr Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 You could do what I am doing. Bought the empty truck, got everything I need off the old one, take the now empty one to pull n save and get your money back. Literally. If you don't pull n save is giving me the same amount. I'd rather someone be able to use the whole thing, and not rip it to shreds like all the damn mexicans do to these poor things in there. Quote Link to comment
