I need a list

TrucksGetDirty · 06-22-2008, 11:13 PM

Sorry, but I need a list of all the parts it will take to switch the 2wd to 4x4.

I know I need the transfer case, but what year, make, model, should it come from? Same with transmission.
I will be getting the D44 in a couple weeks(I hope), but it needs in internal parts. What do I need for that?
Also, everything else... please be as specific as possible and I am going to ask way to many questions for a normal person about the parts.

Thanx everyone. I am going to make this Mazda this a true 'Mazing Mazda.(IMO)

Extra information and details from anyone who has done a SAS would be awesome!

You probably said already in another thread, but...is the D44 full width? If so you'll want a full width rear..unless you want to do like my buddy's buggy.. full width 60 front and a 9" that had been narrowed 6"

Or are you gonna have the 44 cut?

Do you seriously think I am that stupid

The D44 I am getting fit under a Ranger or I can go spend the 1k and get more parts, it was under a Mazda.

Lets see all the internal parts.....R&P with the yoke, front drive shaft, axles, hubs. Are going to use coil springs or leaf springs? Transmission and transfer, I would imagine you would have to stay within your trucks year. Cross member for the Transmission, All linkages for the Transfer. Possibly have replace the rear driveshaft (unless you know how to cut it properly or know someone to do it or take it to a driveshaft shop). Lets get those questions answered and go from there.......... This is going to be a big job, it can be done if you have paitence to do it right the first time. If you are going to cut corners and do it half assed then I doubt you will get anyone to help you, do it right the first time and do it safely. Don't forget to have a good set of Jack Stands as well.

No, no, not at all. No offense intended. I was just curious, and it seemed a good time to poke fun at my friend's rig, that's all

I'd say just get a good set of swampers or TSLs and you'll be able to do incredible things with a 2wd.

A conversion like this takes a lot of money and a lot of time and little tings pile up.

You'll have to take into consideration the shocks, suspension, steering, gears, new wheels, drive shafts, transfer case, tranny. You'll have to hack holes in the floor if you run a manual t case. It's a shit ton of work and the costs add up really, really, fast.

I'd say first, just get a good set of mud tires. Maybe even run a wide mother f'n tire in the back. A buddy of mine ran 33x12.5 TSLs in the front and 35x15.5 TSLs in the rear and that little 2wd could definatly hold it's own in the mud.
