I'm thinking this: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=3142 and a custom 4x4 shop doing a conversion would be a good bet for the price range. Or something along those lines (2wd + 4wd conversion)... that ad was just handy for an example.
Thanks Jage... I'm hoping I can find something closer to ready-to-go. Looks like a conversion could take some time. But I'm keeping all options open at this point.
