Stock 4WD conversion
For guys/gals that have done a stock 4wd conversion. How long will it take to do a stock 4wd conversion if you have two 4 runners side by side and taking parts from a 4wd and swapping them to a non 4wd?
TIA |
It was 3-4 days of hard work and beer. Remember you need a welder for the crossmember and shifter holes.
Also, this is assuming no rust issues, etc. Parts truck: https://i.imgur.com/YlGrE80.jpg Front in place: https://i.imgur.com/w5PLyOH.jpg Transmission going in: https://i.imgur.com/CYgCicM.jpg You can do various parts separately. The front diff/hubs/axles can be done separately. Then transmission, then wiring. Make sure you change the rear upper control arms when you do the transmission (2WD and 4WD upper arms are different). -Charlie |
Thank you for that great info! What is the welder for? Does everything just bolts on to the 2wd? Really appreciate this info and thank you. I might have some more questions if you don't mind.

The 4WD pinion points up at the transfer case output (due to double cardan CV joint) and the 2WD pinion is level due to two single u-joints in the driveshaft. -Charlie |

Transmission crossmember has to be relocated (this pic is with the 2WD 4WD crossmembers in place while the 2WD trans was still installed): https://i.imgur.com/npcygUl.jpg Shifter holes (this is the 4WD holes traced out and the 2WD hole still there): https://i.imgur.com/3c5XBqa.jpg (this is the modified shifter area) https://i.imgur.com/1oX5TxX.jpg Check out the thread in in my signature for the whole story... -Charlie |

I highly suggest getting a parts truck to do it... There are a lot of little things you will miss if you don't have a complete 4WD next to you to compare. Make sure it is the same year and trim if you want the wiring to go smoothly... -Charlie |
