the easiest way would be to get another Bronco II and change all of the parts out. The frames may be different between 2wd and 4wd, so it may not bolt in anyway. If you really want to tackle this, I would recomend finding a donar vehicle for the front end and transfer case, then do some measuring to see if the frame is the same, and if if will bolt in. Try to get the whole donar vehicle if you can, you always run into parts you still need. In the end, It is almost always easier to sell this one and buy a 4wd.

i was going to try and convert my 2x ranger to 4x its a whole lot of work, the frame doesnt have the bolting it needs, you would have to drill holes in the frame, possible but i wouldnt do it, my sisters ex was a mech at ford and i talked to him about it, he said it will never drive the same, be better off finding a 4x frame and just change your body on it
