Anyone know how hard it is to convert a narrow track FRONT END to wide track ? Is the chassis the same ? Its it just arms, steering and driveshafts ?
Anyone done it ?

Convert Narrow to Wide

The suspension arms are the same, thechassis mounts are different and are mounted out wider and all associated bits. Consider rear axle swapping, flares etc. it would be a costly excercise for little benfecial result, it would be cheaper and quicker to trade in and buy a wide track.
If wanting to have a narrow track wider, the invested money would be better spent on a SAS with lux axles front and rear. Atleast that way the money would be going towards something benefical.
Not legal, but just sticking a set of 2" wheel spacers front and rear would be quicker and easier, if wanting a little more width.

Although, interestingly, it would indicate that there would be no more flex to be had with the wide track front end.

from my point of view, get a offset rim, wide track flare/guard fitted, and away you go. for mechanical things, it gonna cost you.
for the cheapest option, offrim and flare seems like the go, once i asked for factory right front guard after bashing a roo,:bad-words: they wanted 480 bucks for it.
don't know if it's painted but i got a fiberglass repair kit and costed me 30 bucks from supercheap. 
don't you love it when you know a bit about mechanic work and a tradeperson panelbeater
If you want to know how to repair plastic works with fiberglass. i'd be happy to help if you PM me in anyway i can.
