Welcome to FTE!
Stop yelling (typing in all caps)
The easiest way is to sell what you got and buy a 4X4. Theres alot of fab work involved in converting a 2WD to 4X4. It's been gone over many times here.

Sorry for the caps lock. I did not see the other posts about this. fab work is not a problem, just looking for some tips from someone who knows something about it. Thanks Jesse

We just had 2 or 3 posts about this within the past 4 days so if you browse the first 2 pages of this forum you'll see them. That may give you some ideas. It's really not that difficult to do if you can do your own fab work.
Dan, if you think finding a 4x4 Crewcab is easy I need to be making my way down to SC! The last decent 4x4 Crewie I saw here was $10K and they are few and far between.
