Do we need to install some tow hooks on the front of your truck Daniel?

Nope. Already got 2 up front and one on the back. Hopefully they wont get too much use. I'm wanting to get some new recovery straps though.

I'm going to have an extra front end. Sure you don't wanna make yours 4wd?

Got my D30 the other day.

There is nothing I would like more than to make my truck 4wd. Just don't have the funds at the moment for a front end, t case and everything that goes with it.

Hell go over there n have him help put I n too. Then u can help him so he can make it also.

Hahahaha. Okay you're really talking me into it. Im going to have to look into how to do the conversion and what all is involved

 

[country0001]

Biggest problem would be matching your gears.

 

[daniel3507]

Wouldnt I have to swap out my engine crossmember?

 

[country0001]

I dont know on a ranger. I didnt on my F150. It was a bolt in. Took the TIB out and put the TTB in. I have a 4wd A4LD too. Bahahahahaha

You would need a 4x4 a4ld with a 4.0L torque converter, a manual BW 1350 or 1354 T-case with the shift linkage for an automatic trans. And Dana 28 with the drop brackets and springs. Then driveshafts. All of it could come off a donor rig for cheap. And it sounds like country0001 is willing to work a deal with you. Too bad I sold my front and rear axles with matching 4.10 gears for 200 over the summer.
