DIY4x4 parts
Has anyone used the DIY4x4 parts to convert a 2wd to 4wd? I have my '72 Longhorn and want a 4x4 BAD,so I think I will convert it. Thanks

Re: DIY4x4 parts
Go for it!
Kert makes VERY good stuff! I met him a few years ago. Great guy to work with and he can customize whatever you need so give him a call and tell him what you are doing or want to do! He will hook you up proper

Re: DIY4x4 parts
So to answer your question, beyond how awesome Kert is...
I've done it. Very simple to do, as the front portion is a bolt on. I used a C30 frame. Cut the ebrake "bump" out and used Kert's rear shackle hanger brackets. I also used a 52" front spring that got me about 4" of lift... so I went with one of his shackle flips in the back. |
