Better yet, if the frame and drivetrain are usable on the 4x4 (which
is the assumption to be able to go this route at all) then just replace the
sheet metal and the cab, if necessary, and you end up with 2 Daks - a
4x4 and your original 4x2 rather than a mutant 4x4 with questionable
resale value and a pile of scrap.
Just a thought... (Of course, you must take into account the fact that
I live in a strange world where "he who has the most vehicles wins" so
naturally I would try to get 2 Daks for the price of one.) ;-)
