g'day all...
have just purchased a jumbuck with a vr4 4g conversion, and am keen to get some 4wd action happening...being absolutely useless on the tools, i was hoping that someone who's been there & done it can give me an idea of what is required, or even if there is somewhere in the greater sydney area that could do the job for me...
thanks in advance people!

it's been done twice before that i know of i beleive they're both in WA

it require the sourcing of some very rare parts. it is not as simple as an awd conversion in say a m21/lancer/satria etc almost nothing is a direct fit (in the rear end)

If you have lots of money....Meek Automotive will be able to help with a drive in, drive out option.

Doubtful that it will be a cheap exercise but.

cheers for the input lads..yeah, i had my suspicions that it would be a costly venture...customised setups never come cheap!

[evo-gsr]

You got that right!
Jack will pipe up and say do it yourself...but if your no good on the tools...its not gonna happen.

unfortunately my enthusiasm for modifications doesn't translate to DIY

[evo-gsr]

At least your honest!

Mate where in the mountains are you? I got a jumbuck with 4g93t still fwd thinking of making it 4wd too.. I live in upper mountains.. my third jumbuck in 2 years! Nothing like pulling up at the lights and some dickhead in a Holden ute laughs at you then shits himself when he cant keep up with a little shitbox proton ute!

The launch limiter has them looking again
As jamo says, its a big job with lots of mixed parts. Not for the faint hearted.
Maybe go auto fwd? at least it will launch a bit easier

Its not rumbucks ute is it?

[4Gjumbowner]

well with a gti gearbox bolted to the 4g63 @ the moment and a 2.1 short block from built4g63 on the way, i'm not entirely sure how long the satria box will last, hence why i'd be keen to explore the 4wd option - also, power + fwd will equal epic torque-steer i think!?!..feel free to correct me if i'm wrong..nah jack, not rumbuck's ute...

You might want to try fitting a front lsd before going to 4wd to see if that gives you enough of an improvement to keep you happy.
Since fitting one I've found my new 210fwkw setup basically has zero traction issues compared to the previous one without the lsd and 140fwkw - which had basically no grip in 1st or 2nd.

Is that for sale Rockabilly?

I offered it to the poster, who is going to come down this weekend to have a look.

If he doesn't grab the box & clutch, are you interested ? PM me.

Cheers

[Geo&Kez]

Let me know know if you still have it after the weekend.

@Jamo, seems the right price always happens when I'm pissing it up and I always miss them....... It's a conspiracy!

[4Gjumbowner]

pleasure doing business with you Aldo... sorry blokes, gearbox + clutch sold!

[Geo&Kez]

Doh!
