I did this to a 90 xj I had back in high school. I just picked up a xj that a guy totaled and only paid 350 for it. Wheeled it till I got my 89 I have now. Gave the 90 to my dad. Was easy swap. Also lucked up and the wreak xj had a non disc d30 and a d44 in rear so I came out on top.

And you still need to decide which t-case you want to use...the np 231 or the 242...
231 has a bit more after market support and is a bit more popular in the wheeling scene... 231 is a part time only case, 242 has the full time option...
Ive had both, i prefer the 231 just because its more simplistic...currently my rig has a 242..no complaints with it though.
