convert to 4wd

I have a 99' Ranger XLT super cab. (2 wheel drive). I was wandering if anyone knows around how much it would cost to how it converted to 4 wheel drive. just an estimate. Thanks

Hi Mike, welcome to FTE!

To convert your system to a 4x4 would cost more than it's worth, IMO. You would not only have the expected drive-line conversion issues, but with your '98 there would be suspension issues as well, since the '98+ 4x4 suspensions use a different front suspension than the 4x2 models. A lot of re-configuring would need to be done to pull it off.

unless your have lots and lots of time and lots and lots of money and nothing else to do with your time, just go buy what you want. it isn't worth it.
