hi all i have an 86 toyota pick up extra cab with a 22re engine that is 2 wheel drive. i am considering rebuilding the engine and turning it into a fun truck for trail running. my question is how hard would it be to make it 4 wheel drive. i know that i would need a new front axle and a transfer case and all the appropriate drive train parts but is it doable? how much fab work would i have to do if i jump into this project?

a lot of work. better to just buy a 4x4, the 4x4 frame is also a lot more durable. buy a 4x4 and fix it up, if u keep the 2wd, prerun it!

ozziesironmanoffroad: what do you mean by pre running? adding bigger tires and suspension? i will not get any money for my truck it has a salvage title and 300k on it so my thoughts are just to fix it up a bit and make it more of a fun truck rather than a city truck. what do you think also it only costs me gas and insurance to run

keep your truck fordaily driving and buy a 4x4 to work on a 85 and under if you want a s.f.a a 2wd to convert to 4wd you need a whole parts truck anyways pretty much

true, the money you would spend on converting your truck to 4wd would be better spent on getting a truck with 4wd .

if your 2wd is in good reliable condition and u wouldnt get much money for it by selling, i would just get a small lift [theyre cheaper for 2wds] and some 30 inch all terrains to get rid of that city boy look, and save up for a 4wd. at least u would have a reliable,paid for, cheap vehicle to run around in.


[edit]: thats a nice 2wd truck posted above me, but not exactly cheap lol

TREAD LIGHTLY

just a 22re

to tell you the truth it might be easyier for him to go 4wd

all he needs is a 4wd trany a sas and drive shafts and hes done you can use the stock leafs for the front and level out the rear have fun but its your rig do what you want

It can be done for about 1500 depending on the deals you get...assuming you do all the work yourself. Check out Pirate4X4...they do it everyday.
