you need a live axle up front, a transfer case before the front of the driveshaft, and a driveshaft from the transfer case to the front axle.

thanks how much do u think thatll cost? and 2 answer the nothing working its probably your battery or terminals try starting it w/ the charger set on 12 volts and hooked up 2 the battery cables if it works then try tightening the terminals or getting a new battery if not then check for a bad ground or newires touching or disconected

I have no idea what it'd cost to get a transfer case, live front axle, and driveshaft, plus I'm Canadian, so I couldn't help you too much. But go to a car scrapyard and you could probably get a transfer case from an old 4WD car for cheap. I'm not sure about the other stuff though. You may have to custom make a driveshaft. I'm not sure where you could find a live front axle that's the right size, maybe in a scrapyard...but anyways, that's about all I can think of.
