4wd swap questions.
Ok guys I'm going to do the 4wd swap.
Outdoorsman is selling me like 75% of what i need: axle, knuckles, spindles, brakes, driveshaft etc etc.
I need to know what I have to do relating to the trans.
I'm going to get a 1354 manual shift tcase so I want to know if I should just get a 4wd trans or one of my buddies at work said just the "tail cone"?
whats the easiest way?

so you're saying just get a used 4x4 trans? correct?

If it were me, I would. No downtime on the truck except for the swap itself. No waiting on the trans to be done. Plus, you can probably do it for not much more than the money for the rear shaft and tailhousing swap. I have a nice history of getting low mile parts for cheap...maybe you'll ahve the same luck with that trans. Check out 0RangerEdge2's 4x4 conversion thread.

I believe 01+ on 3.0. I know it's definately 01+ for 4.0...just a little unsure on the 3.0. The speed sensor is in the tailhousing.
Check out Car-Part.com--Used Auto Parts Market They're how I found my engine.
EDIT: Did a quick search in Arizona. In pheonix, Precision Auto Parts is listing a 7,000 mile 3.0L 4x4 trans from a '03 for only $600.
