Why Toyota parts and not Nissan?
Also, are you keeping it IFS or do you want to SAS?

im sure i can pick up a jeep on the cheap, however i do see a bunch of lifted jeeps around my area. However i like my frontier more. I think it would be a cooler truck than a jeep once its lifted with a sas swap.you dont want a crazy rock crawler yet you want to SAS it. thats kinda pointless to me. Why do all that work make just to have a 4x4 that your not going to wheel hard. Sell your 2wd truck and pick up an XJ or something like that, cheep solid axle upfront, tons of parts out there for them. a 3in lift some cutting and 32s and you have a good dual purpose streetable rig you can take on the trails
hi, i have a four cylinder so my only cat is one the left.these trucks are designed to have a driver's side pumpkin, there is no room for the driveshaft in between the cat and the tranny on the passenger side, unless you want a retardedly tall truck. also, you would have to run a divorced case and there would be a lot of fabrication involved.

you can pick up a 4x4 tranny and tcase that will bolt right in with an addition of a crossmember and all you would have to do is figure out what you want to run for a front axle. a full width d44 from an 80's wagoneer works great. unfortunately, typing it out isn't as easy as putting it together, but forget about toyota stuff up front.
you are going to spend much more money then you are probably hoping to if you are thinking about converting a 4cyl to 4x4 and putting a solid axle up front.hi, i have a four cylinder so my only cat is one the left.
Last night i was thinking of swapping out my trans for a 4x4 unit along with the transfer case and using a d44. Like what you suggested. Also the parts seem to be readily available on car-parts. I would just have to find someone to fabricate the spring hangers.
would something like a cal mini sas kit work on my 4cyl chassis?
what wrong with sas'ing a 4cyl? i feel like the 4 banger has adequate power to move some 33's with proper gearing.you are going to spend much more money then you are probably hoping to if you are thinking about converting a 4cyl to 4x4 and putting a solid axle up front.
the calmini kit is sketchy. i would stay away.
that wouldnt be fun.. i wanna build my own truck and enjoy the fruits of my labor..Hell, drop 7k on a sas'd machine! Good deal.
