i have a 99 classic xj 2wd sadly, i know i can easily sell it and buy a 4x4 but i love this one and dont want to get rid of it. can you please list all the parts needed to convert to 4x4.

 

Transmission from 98-01 with transfer case. (Either 231 or 242 doesn't matter) front and rear drive shafts, front axle with matching gear ratio of the rear, transfer shifter/ bezel, light wiring for t/c bezel. You'll have to extend your speed sensor wiring to reach the t/c. I did the conversion a couple months ago. Well worth it.

 

thanks exactly what i needed to know

 

Oh and try to find a high pinion axle from a 97-98 if possible but not 100% necessary.

 

Ive always wanted to do my 96 . Goodluck man!

 

Find a xj that has been rear ended,blown engine or no title dirt cheap and use it as parts.

 

Dont forget to pull the complete shift linkage for the t-case shifter. You have a piece bolted to the floor that people often forget.

 

Good point.
