How hard would that be?

 

First SEARCH.


Second what are the specs of you truck all we know is that its 2wd. what year model motor tranny blah blah ugh ............................

 

Welcome from Gresham, Zach!

Search first, but let us know what you have, what you know, and what the plans for the truck are.

 

Its a 1997, with a 3.0 liter v6, automatic, standard cab, long bed
and i want make my own mounts and run a straight axel with a transfer case. could i put a toyota axel under it with a toyota transfer case? I was gonna make my own drivelines

 

Oh boy, sorry to say, but you're no where near ready for something this complex. You need to research what other people have done.

Not one person has ever run a toyota case and front axle. For a reason, as soon so you research, you'll see.

 

if you want a passenger drop axle I would highly recommend looking into the Dana300 tcase.

Hell unless you want to directly bolt in a stock ranger/explorer tcase, i would say to research the D300.

 

Will a explorer tcase fit and a explorer axle fit?

 

rofl

explorer axles are the same

the explorer t-case is the same, but you need a different transmission or just the tail housing which requires taking the transmission apart..


My best advice is to read.. read read read.. I had my Ranger 3 years before I did the SAS, I had wanted to do it since I knew what it was but took a while to learn the skills and knowledge needed to take on such a task.

 

yah, will i have to make my own mounts for the tcase?

 

No. It bolts to the tranny, but you'll need a 4x4 tranny. I would highly recommend a driver side drop axle. I can't imagine the headaches involved to get a passenger drop axle in there with working 4x4.

 

im not trying to sound like an *** but your making yourself sound really stupid. do a little searching and you will find all of your questions.

 

He can always do a divorced t-case. Cuts down on needing a new transmission but i'll require getting some sort of intermediate drive shaft and a custom mount

 

matt just stop there are much easier ways lol

 

You're making a divorced setup sound like its a horrible option... Its really not, and being that he has a long bed shortening up the rear drive shaft a couple feet can't hurt. ****, I should have done that with my ranger, Divorce mount a second t-case.. why the hell didn't I think of that sooner, could have had a D300 and a CUCV D60 front. ugh


There's more than one way to do it.

 

yea i agree

 

Thats what i was thinking on doing, the divorced tcase, so i dont have to spend the money on another tranny. and sorry for causing trouble im a 17 yr old kid, just trying to get some help

 

dude your not causing problems lol there is just a ton of info on this site you just need to do a little digging

 

alright ill look around thanks

 

I was17 when i got mine.. Just read around, try out therangerstation.com and pirate4x4.com for a lot of info.

I know a guy who had a 95? He divorce mounted an NP205 which is one of the most badass, bulletproof tcases to go into a production vehicle.. Its all possible, learning to weld and reading a lot goes a LONG way.
