it would be good to have someone attempt it so we can see what realistically is involved in this.

start up a thread if you decide to go the v2 rear end route. people would be willing to learn and help if possible.

You can help with the final word putting together a parts list with costs.

at least with a parts list you can try to get some prices from junk yards etc.

 

[liqidvenom]

i think the parts list is in this thread already, you just need a vin off of a v2

 

[liqidvenom]

do you know what post number?
alternatively i can post a parts illustration and you guys can pick out the pieces

i'm heading to sleep now so i'll check up on replies in the AM

Rear cradle
-Fuel tank
-Differential

this is from post 1. also maybe the bolts needed to mount these things. these three things would be the biggest purchases if bought new.

Besides the cradle, what about upper and lower control arms, will ours bolt on? Trailing arms, toe rods, spindles, brake lines, hubs ect... lots of little things if ours transfer over it would save a lot of money needing only what was posted above.

Fuel tanks are different as they are 17.5 gallon compared to 18 gallon. Not sure if our fuel components will transfer over or if need all new fuel parts. Although the new 09+ uses a pulse width control module instead of a regulator which can make things tricky.

those other parts while numerous would be something people would have to deal with as they do this the first time. I would immagine if it connects to the cradle then you might need it, or at least take a look at it.

so then why bother?
wouldn't it be more sane to trad your V in on a V2 than to go through all this trouble?

well its like with many things on this vehicle which should be simple but it completely more difficult then need be. also this swap would be alot more affordable once someone does it and calls out what is needed. then you could just as easily go on ebay or car-part.com and buy the rear subframe out of a car, hopefully at a good deal and do this swap yourself. I am a big fan of the v2, just not sure its for me though.
