help/advice for 4wd conversion

i know this is a big project, and i definately do not have any type of skills when it comes to this, but im looking to do a 4wd conversion. i have done way too many mods, i like my car too much, to just sell it and get a 4wd one. i got a list of the parts i need from steve schaefer, and he said once i get the parts we would talk, but i cant drive out to arizona. is there anyone closer to charlotte, nc that would be willing to put it on, or knows someone that could do it for me, because ive got a hold of a few parts, and probably will have all of them by january/february. also, any advice/opinions on me doing this would help....i dont have any warranty btw so no worries there.

thanks

Don't know much about that kind of work, but I do that if you by any chance saved any stock parts you removed, everything you've done seems like the kind of stuff you could pull and put a 4wd truck.
Just a thought (which are few and far between for me)

what parts have you gathered so far?
i might be able to help you get started by letting you know what you can do by yourself. also, it will be hard to find someone as specialized as Steve and his mechanic, Vernon that will be willing to help you with this project.

but if you have any questions at all, let me know, I've done this project, and while its not easy, its not too terribly hard either. basically all bolt on
