Sell it and buy a 2wd imo.

Gearbox, sump, prop, diff at least.

Can probably use the 4x4 diff but it's 7" compared to 7.5" IIRC.

Front suspension & hubs etc to to it properly.

Not worth the hassle!

Ginal after owning both believe me the 4X4 is far more scary...off the lights and the ability to travel MUCH faster round the lanes
