Today, i drove out to my farm to get my boat trailer, which has sat for the past 20 years in a shed. im doing a complete overhaul on the trailer, and am replacing almost everything. The ground was muddy, and my 2wd truck had the hardest time getting there and back. took a good amount of time, at the expense of all the grass that is now destroyed. I think i need a good 4x4 truck. Is there a way to make a 4x4 out of my 2wd truck, and still have the option of switching between 4wd and 2wd?

 

It'd be possible but if you were gonna go to that much effort. It'd be worth the price of doing a full SAS IMO..

 

Most say the cost to switch trucks is much cheaper then that of actually converting it to a 4x4.
Id Just shop for a cheap 4x4 for the farm if I were you =D

 

i was looking on craigslist, and i think im just gonna get a cheap cj5 or something.

 

3 words you will NEVER hear together at once are JEEP, CHEAP, and RUNNING.

 

I just bought a jeep for 500 its a 99 with 4x4 4.0 120xxx miles nothing is wrong at all just needed a wheel bearing good deals are out there

 

I just sold my 2000 4cyl Wrangler for $7000! It was far from stock, but I never would have thought I would get that much out of it. Jeeps usually hold their value very well.

 

i was gonna buy the jeep for cheap, but i wouldnt keep it bone stock. i would like a nice toy for the farm, but i would definitely upgrade it alot. and i really like jeeps.

 

do any of you guys have tips on how to drive up those hills while all i have is the truck? im working on getting a lift on the truck, and it seems the running boards kept hitting, but would bigger more "offroad" tires help at all?

 

Me too. I've owned this one for about 15 years. Still working on it, and still dumping money into it. It has seen three different trucks come and go, and no doubt it will see the F150 go some day also.
