- 98' Sport 2wd
Hello:
Someone told me that the 98 Explorer Sport 2WD and 4WD are on the same frame and to convert a 2wd to a 4wd is practically just a part swap. Does anyone know if this is true?
If it is is, I can easily get a donor vehicle for the parts as my roomie works in a junk yard and sees them often (not sure what he means by that).
Also is the process something that can be done in a summer? I would trade for a 4wd but this was my first car and I love it. Been the best car I've owned.
Thanks
Michael
