Heck ya! that's what I'm doin. I'm doin this with my truck asap! It would only take about a weekend to do it if you worked on it all day.

RE: 2WD to 4WD Conversion
it CAN be done. pick up any 4 wheel and off road magazine, jeep magazine, etc, and i'm sure there'll be something in there about doing it. if you have a similarly equipped (wheelbase & motor) donor vehicle that you don't want to/ can't drive, then it can be done. you'd have to swap everything on the front end, everything behind the tranny (tailshaft, transfer case, driveshaft), possibly the exhaust, front axle, upper and lower control arms, front suspension, front hubs, etc...
it's a royal pain in the badonkadonk, but it can be done. anything that you put your mind to can be done. it might not be easy, but nothing worth it ever is. can't tell ya how many times my pastor's told me "Faith moves mountains", so i'd imagine with a little good ol' fashioned american ingenuity swapping a driveline shouldn't be that big a deal, all things considered. just so you know what you're getting into...

RE: 2WD to 4WD Conversion
theres a few brackets on the frame of the 4wd compared to the 2wd that are not on the 2wd frame, i dont know if theres a wayaround them but you godda cut stuff and weld stuff, lol change the tranny, and a complete front end conversion including inner fender wells which involves pulling the whole front clip apart because the 2wd is independant front end suspension.
