Where's the electric motor going to go?

plenty of room anywhere along the frame to mount an electric motor.

Ya, but it's got to be big enough to handle the load plus be situated so that power can xfer to the front drivetrain..
DOn't mean to make light of your project , but it sounds like a boondoogle/moneypit.  Maybe you could buy a Prius and drop your Fronty body on top of the chassis......................

I'm not positive where I'll put it yet but it will hopefully be in the engine compartment, depending on where the input to the front axle is. I'll drive it with a short shaft u-jointed to the motor. An 8 inch diameter DC motor has plenty of power to drive a truck. It will be something of a moneypit but then so are jacked up 4x4s that built just for pleasure. Not to denegrate them but this project will at least get me much improved gas mileage. Any ideas about what axles will fit?

Since Ford came out with the hybrid Escape I'll bet the hybrid Xterra is next.

Ford liscensed the hybrid tech from Toyota because they couldn't come up with there own...
Probably be a Hybrid RAV4 before the Xterra. |
