What the f*ck year truck is it?

You will need a welder, an engine cross member, an axle, a transmission and transfer case, driveshafts, maybe a computer or two...

Or buy a different truck.

Yes, sell the 2WD and buy a 4x4(4WD), cheapest swap and best swap

A 4WD Ranger is built at the factory as a 4WD Ranger, as are pretty much all 4WD trucks, it wasn't an "option" you could add, so 4WD starts with frame and goes out from there

On a Bronco2 I'd say convert it.

But on a Ranger, I'll say NO, even though I've done it myself....

But I didn't ask anyone else how to do it...

Therefor meeting the criteria "if you have to ask how, you can't"

I guess it's hard to update your profile from a cell phone...but you can add details about what you are driving and other mods through the USER CP option near the top of the website...when you figure what you want to do...

What's your end goal? Straight axle or twin beam?
