4x4 conversion?
I have a 02 Ranger with a 3.0 v6 wondering if there is any easy way i can convert it from 2 to 4 wheel drive, without costing a buttload. thanx for any help.

Heh.
Any 4x4 conversion will cost a load. You are basically rebuilding the underpinnings of the truck.
If you have an Edge, it ain't that bad, since it is already a 4wd frame, but missing the front drive end and t-case and you can pretty much find a wrecked 4x4 to swap from.
If you have a pure 2wd frame truck, sell what you have and get a 4.0 4x4, since you'd very much dislike a 3.slow 4x4 in the end anyway.
