At Demello they said 7-10 grand for:a complete Dana 44 axle, 5100 shocks, front Deaver leaf springs, stock 4wd components, misc parts and labor.

that sounds pretty good. I would have done that If i liked to go slow. Jason is a good guy, you should see his own Tacoma.

a.d.d = automatic differential disconnect. the tundra has auto hubs.

A 4x4 transmission would be needed as the 2x4 and 4x4 have different internals, 2x4 uses A340E and the 4x4 uses A340F. They both share the 3040LE transmission case. Also, if one were to change the internals, they would still need to get a transfer case adapter which is about $450 from the dealer. Don't forget about the wire harnesses.

Basically.....just buy a wrecked 4wd tundra and move the parts over....probably cheaper in the long run.

Now I just need to find one.

the other perk to adding 4x4 to a 2wd truck is insurance. I know I couldn't afford a 4x4 with my driving record but if I added it after the fact the money you'll save on insurance could end up paying for all the parts/labor a few years down the road...something to consider

So is it feasible to convert? I was thinking about it but need more info.

What would you be using your truck for? since it's fairly brandnew....i'd say just buy a beater jeep/yota and take it and tow it to the trail using the tundra...

this is just the conclusion i came to after doing some research....

so lets say we bundled up 10k for this conversion, what kind of time are we talking?
A week? a month? I know this type of stuff takes loads of time.

probably the better part of a weekend, and be sure to have a buddy or 2 help out.

I am considering the same conversion if my truck does not sell soon. Can anyone tell me if the transfer case will bolt up to the 2wd transmission or if I need to swap the transmission also. I really do not want to have to change the transmission.
