Thanks for the feedback. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> I was hoping it would just be a bolt on operation.. considering the 2wd and 4wd both come from the same factory in Japan. If it were a bolt on deal than the resale would go up... but as one of you stated.. a butchered weld up would be a waste of my time and cash... unless of course I wanted to 'wheel' it.. then I'd go with the solid front axle... Anyway.. thanks again.
