question - so this one is a 2wd.
i emailed them because that didn't make sense to me, being an SR5.
they said the previous owner "disabled" it..?
how big of a project is it to re-enable? because i'm definitely wanting a 4wd.
but, if this can be done, i may be flying to Eugene.

I think by looking at the shifter position It looks like they put a fwd transmission in it,with the linkage the shifter is back a couple of inches further from the front

I agree with Jim. You would need a 4WD trans that matches the rear pumpkin, and a drive shaft. Totally doable. The pumpkin would have to be in or it wouldn't be driveable. The car looks great!

[jaredheath]

hmm.. might be worth the project. any estimate on what that would cost to be done properly? if i had someone do it or if i did it myself?

with the exception of the white crap on the rear passenger side, the exterior looks great. the interior isn't very good but it's better than what i'd expect for that price.

[irowiki]

For that price I'd get it regardless!

I would grab it too
If you do get it and switch tranny
Be sure to save 2wd tranny for parts

I agree- totally doable. Biggest problem is finding a good proper ratio tranny. Too bad it's so far away from MD (I've got all the parts required to 'restore' the 4WD- including decent matching seats.)

It depends on what a replacement transmission costs. You could do it yourself and save a lot of money. Lots of support on this site.
