FWD TO AWD/4WD conversation

[tmarti]

I have a 2013 XLT FWD and was look to see if any one had converted one to AWD/4WD and what headache I mite run into. Is there a build list or build video that out there that I haven't found yet ? Thank you ahead of time.

its a large undertaking, as you at least on a secon gen, and i imagine with traction control, etc it is even more on a 5g, but you need a 4wd/awd tail housing, driveshafts, transfer case, and then diff with the half shafts since its a IRS

Yea it looks like the rear end is a bolt on swap should be to hard. But the transmission I don't know if I will need to swap it or will the PTO / Transfer case will bolt on , and if the wiring is all plug and play or splicing /swap needed. Those where some of my concerns.

Nothing is impossible but its extremely impractical.. the subframes are different for starters.
