Default WTB Someone to do a 247-->242 & D35 --> C8.25 swap for me near 06782

So here's the deal, I have a '95 ZJ Laredo, I6 4.0L, 42RE automatic transmission, NP249 Transfer Case, D30 Front and D35 Rear.

I have nor the tools or place to swap the transfer case and rear end.

What I'm looking for is someone to source all the parts necessary to change my NP249 & D35 rear end to an NP242 & C8.25 rear end.

I'm in Plymouth, CT 06782

What I'd need is a total time frame to get the job done and, obviously, a total price for everything necessary to complete the swap.

You can either email me at MGaffney982@gmail.com or send a text ONLY to 860.422.3537 and I will respond to both immediately.

I can drop off the vehicle and pick it up once all is completed.

the tcase swap is easy but puttin an 8.25 in there your spending a whole bunch of money on brackets and stuff just making sure your aware of that before you set out to do this

Would a D44 be a more direct swap?

The ZJ 44 is a POS axle. It has a aluminum center section.

Well, since I won't be wheeling at all with this Jeep, I guess I'll just need to replace the transfer case. My D35 is currently leaking from both axle tubes where they insert into the pumpkin so I'd still like to replace the rear end. Plus, the bearings are going bad in the pumpkin as well so I'd still need to replace the rear since a direct swap would be easier.
