4x2 to 4x4
i have a 95 5 speed manual rodeo and i am tired of it geting stuck. is it possible to convert it to a 4x4?? if so what years will fit. i know i will need front and back difs and the transmission but what else if it is possible. I only paid $100 for it and i am a mechanic so there is no labor charge i have to worry about but i am not to familar with it and hoped some one could tell me and save me some time.

Re: 4x2 to 4x4
What kind of terrain are you getting stuck in?
I have a '97 Rodeo 4x2 with 32" Yokohama A/T tires, I carry about 200# of sand tubes in the back during nasty winter storms here in Colorado, and aside from snow, I've been through mud, sand, up steep dirt mountain trails, and she's seen her share of river beds, sandy beaches, and even some desert caves when we lived in the southwest - I have yet to EVER get stuck in this truck. She was one of two trucks I used during our Blizzard here in Colorado, some 24-28" of snow to pull out other cars, vans, suv's off snowbanks/ditches. I once owned a '91 Rodeo 4x4 for 12yrs; fantastic truck as well - only 3 times do I ever remember putting it IN 4-wheel; she endured same life as my '97. In fact, the two trucks used to follow one-another up mountain passes, through some old mine shafts. FWIW - however, you're probably better off just looking around for another Rodeo; cost of parts alone you could find another older one.

Re: 4x2 to 4x4
Mud is what i get stuck in. i have new tires on it but thats not enough to go where my friends go. i am not worried about the cost of parts. there is always some one that has what you need and don't really want anything for them but is it possible???

Re: 4x2 to 4x4
Yes, it's possible, most definitely - if money's not a factor.
And, I'm very curious how it turns out. Your best bet is to ask this question in the Isuzu forum over at 4x4wire and/or Planetisuzu.com Keep me posted.
