2wd to 4wd conversion ?

[Bozo_The_Clown]

hi, i drive a '94 sr5 2wd, 3.0 v6. I'm looking to convert it to a 4wd, i'm curious as to what all i'll need as far as parts from a donor car. Also has anyone done this conversion before, if so how difficult is it? yes i know everyone on this site is going to tell me its more cost effective to just go buy one with 4wd, however i've had this runner for a while now and my father and i just put in a brand new engine (0 miles), and also fixed everything that could possibly be wrong with it. So to me its a better idea to just convert the one i have since i know all its flaws rather than buy a diff one and have no clue as to whats all wrong with it. thanks

It'd be easier and cheaper to get a 4WD 4runner with a bad engine and swap engines.

Unless you have a lot of metal working, fabrication, and mechanical skills, and the tools and equipment to go with it, and the $$ and time, it'll be a big, big challange.

I've done body swaps, frame swaps, engine conversions, you name it, so I speak from experience.

I guess what I'm saying is it's possible, but not practical.

well i've been thinking about it, it would cost way tooo much to even think about it, i'm just gonna get some decent tires and a winch on the grill gaurd. just use that if i get stuck, plus i'm not planning on doing any supermudding just light offroading
