2WD to 4WD conversion.. or is it cheaper to just outright buy a 4WD expy?

As the title states. I finally got some tires today and decided to go on some light off roading..nothing I felt the RWD couldn't handle. wrong...

first I had to park on flat ground, sit on the rear bumper to raise the rear up then disable the air suspension, it seems to get confused and air out one bag if you sit a certain way. turning it off fixed it. I ended up getting stuck any time i sat for a second so I gave up and just went to a field to play for a bit. got stuck there too. so, as the title says. convert to AWD or buy one that came from factory?


would've gotten pics but i was too mad about getting stuck every time I hit a slight incline...

cheaper and alot less headache to just buy a 4x4.

that's what I was expecting. I figure I could find one that might need some work and if need be swap parts. would love to find one in good condition in the same color as mine. The color has grown on me and in certain lighting she really looks good when clean. now though, she's covered in mud...

If you're really handy, have the tools and equipment, and can find a truck that is totaled from the rear as a donor, then it may be an option. Otherwise just buy a 4x4.

that's what I figured, there were a couple top end totaled (tree fell on them, slid into a tree during that ice storm we had down here) but the first one sold too many essential parts (hubs, axles) and the other the guy is firm on his price of waytofreakinghigh the c pillar back is crushed slightly but it runs/drives and he wants like 2k for it. i figure when I move i can save up and just buy a decent one already with 4wd.

Thats the best plan.

It will be much easier and cheaper to find one with the equipment and options you want already installed.

that's what I was thinking. seeing as I only got mine for $400 I could use her for parts or sell for a nice profit. I've only got $1500 in her so far, $400 plus $650 tires 150 tune up and intake gaskets.
