The best route might be to go to the dealer and trade your 2WD for a 4WD.

That's a lot of work to do something Nissan does from the factory...wouldn't it be cheaper to buy a 4x4?

its not cheaper to trade it in when u still owe 15,000 and have 57,000 on it im just trying to prove it can be done , pluse i want a 4wd

Awesome. Let us know if you are able to accomplish this. Make sure to take lots of pictures.

Well...start calling junkers...

Nobody's gonna have that stuff laying around.

Good luck.

anything can be done with money. As far as finding used parts is going to be very limited since the truck is still so new. Junk yards will be about your only bet and as far as I know you will have to use the transfer case out of a titan or armada. In reality you may be better off doing a straight axle conversion but either way you will problably dump 4-5k plus to do it right

so far i have found a burnt titan at a junk yard one county over from me but its a 2 wd so far no luck , i would love to do a straight axle conver. but thats quite a bit nore that i wanna spend , a mechanic at my local nissan dealer said i really wasnt that hard to do it the main thing he said i would need is a the 4wd wiring harness , i love my truck but the four whell drive titans with the lift kits on them look so mean looking a much better looking 4wd than any other company makes . so in going to try my but off to make this 2wd truck a 4wd i just need help form every body to help me find the parts, even if its on one of the parts i need one part is better than zero parts

You also need a new ECU, a transfer control module, a completely new main wiring harness (the one for the entire engine compartment) new rear and front drive shafts, different crossmember I believe, the 4wd switch.

I really think your biting off more than you want to chew bro...

but good luck.

If its all about the look (and lets face it, you have 57,000miles and havent need 4wd yet), you dont need 4wd to look like that. You actaully have more lifting options keeping it 2wd. And i have a front diff, hubs, axles, driveshaft. But im keeping the transfercase and computer.

Contemplating a solid axle or something?

I agree. Sometimes it's just not practical. You can get that raised look without the conversion to 4WD and for a lot less money.

I would take the advice of some of the dealership techs with a grain of salt.
No doubt that there are some excellent techs out there, but I believe they are in the minority. Now if you talked to someone that had already done a conversion, that would be a different story.

Also, I think you will find that the junk yards of the past are gone now. These guys have gotten pretty smart at knowing what they can charge for parts. Expect to pay approximately 1/2 the retail cost. I'm guessing that just the parts will cost you several thousand dollars.

Good Luck.

Yeah, I noticed that. I used to have a field day in high school; used to get good engines, rear ends & trannies. I went to a junk yard last summer and it was full of stripped junkers. Nothing decent whatsoever. Now, you can go somewhere like this and pay a zillion $.
