Questions about converting a 2wd astro tiger to awd

[steelheadbum]

Has anyone here ever heard of such a conversion? I have an opportunity to purchase a 87 tiger 2wd "cheap"...

Thanks

It won't be "cheap" anymore by the time you get done converting it.

PM ihatemybike, he knows more about the problems involved. Or join astrosafarivans.com and ask "doyoulikeithere", he's done it among others.

Or put in your own straight axle and crossmember and 6" lift, v8.

Of course, mine was awd to begin with, a different animal.

That is a beautiful, unique Tiger - if inside is in any kind of shape like outside and you're getting it "cheap" - do it!

I have no answer to your question, but it's always a good idea to listen to T.Low (esp re: V8 ) & ihatemybike & the astrosafarivans guys.

I was looking around some on astro stuff and as long as you were using stock stuff I didn't think it sounded too bad for anyone that is comfortable pulling the subframe out from under a vehicle. You'd need the AWD subframe, front suspension, trans & t-case, drive shafts, etc. mechanically. Not sure if they have a ECM and TCM independent or just a PCM, whichever you'd need the TCM or PCM respectively (OR put in a manual 4x4 tranfercase... I'd go that route but wouldn't be plug/play for drive shafts and such). But as with anything the devil's in the details so I might be full of poo.
