Hi Peeps, can a Tacoma 2005 PreRunner Rear Wheel Drive be converted to a 4x4 (ie 4wheel drive) without problems? Useful and urgent contributions please. Thank You.

The answer is yes, seeing as the Tacoma was available with an AWD option. Items you'll need are as follows:

01) 4x4 transmission.
02) Transfer case.
03) Propellar shaft.
04) Front axle.
05) Front suspension.
06) Associated wiring, switches and warning lamps.

These are just the most obvious items required, as with most conversions, the deeper you delve into the job, the more little miscellaneous items you'll find you need.

Why not just buy AWD truck

What's the estimated cost of doing the conversion and where can I get a perfect work? I don't wish to have problems later. I'm based in Warri. email me with dkcclout@gmail.com

If the Nigerian factor doesn't creep in, we are never satisfied. We just seem to like the grief instead. By the time you start looking for and buying all the parts as well as the hypertension that comes with the mechanics and rewires, you would have bought two 4WDs.

Don't you think its cheaper to sell the RWD and buy a 4WD as advised by Sultaan.
