Don't forget the gearbox tunnel will need a bit od modding so the diff and tthe front prop will fit.
Nothing a big hammer will not sort.
Need a mount aswell for the gearbox,slightly different place to the 2wd one.

Don't forget in addition to above list you will need 4X4 front hubs, struts and brakes as your 2wd brakes wont fit the 4X4 setup.
