Stu Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 1) There is no rear beam2) The rear-end isn't a direct bolt-on3) The transfer box is the weak link, running it in 2wd will make that exponentially worse4) Idea is fail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuey650 Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 5) Its near impossible to find all the 4x4 parts you'd need anyway, short of buying donor car, inwhich case just use that anyway, instant 4x4! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
