yes it is possible. but very time consuming. youd prolly have to make some extra cuts to make some stuff fit but im sure it can be done. if you go for it, im sure there are some people who could benefit from a walkthrough.

 

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.

 

Make sure ya post some pics so we can see how the 4wd conversion is coming along.

 

either the texas heat is talking or you are smoking crack..no way it can be done in a weekend , unless you cut corners ...alot of corners..of course if you got $$$$$$$$$$ anything is possible

 

is that how your momma tought you to talk to a lady?

 

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...

 

Thank you very much.

 

Thinking about giving this a shot on my 02 ram 2wd... would be interested in seeing how you make out.

 

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.
