possible and also impossible. Due to high demand of converting 2WD to 4WD, you will hardly find all of these parts in any stores.

| But it is doubtful that the auction will end at $50. For $193 shipped from tower for a 4x4, it just isn't worth it to buy a 2WD with 4x4 aspirations. And unless you find a super deal on a good used complete axle, you can pretty much forget trying to find parts for the conversion. And unfortunately, I have seen the axles alone get up to $102.50 on Ebay (For 1 axle!).

Why shop EBay when you can buy from a known retailer for cheaper? Tower has them for $210 with a $25 discount, then you pay shipping. Ultimate has them for $190 with free shipping on orders over $100. Total either way is under $200. |
