Awesome. I will gather the materials ( + a service manual ) and get started asap

That's right, you showed me that build on instagram. Thing looks pretty beastly already. I think all I need is a switch that can be spliced into the solenoid wire, with another wire connecting the switch to a power source, right?

My forester currently has the 4EAT transmission so I think installing the switch for my duty C solenoid would be a good idea; I'm just not super handy with electronics so any insight into the installation of said switch would be great. Thanks for the info though gents! As far as swapping my awd for 4wd, I will look into finding an old dual range 5 speed. This is my project car (used to be my daily) that I want to convert into an ultimate trail/mudding rig. I live way down here in the central valley of california where no one drives subarus let alone lifts them; makes me want to move up north! Cheers!!!

Hey guys, I have a 2002 Forester that I'm trying to turn into an off-road monster.I'm a newcomer in this area of expertise so any and all helpful info is welcomed. I'm having trouble finding information on the possibility of swapping my AWD for 4WD. Everything on my car is currently stock. Where do I begin as far as finding as suitable 4WD system to replace the stock one from Subaru, any suggestions? Cheers!
