If you have a clean rig and can get a donor it can be worth it.

I have not, but a guy that lives in my area and helps Moderate this sight swapped his Comanche to 4wd, and many have done it.

You need alotta parts, which is why its nice to have a donor truck.

If its hard to find a clean 4wd Cherokee then find the cheapest beat up one and strip it for parts.

It will be fun, at least the stripping part.

I did it to my Comanche a couple months ago. Everything litterly bolts in, just change the front axle, trans/transfercase. And yes get a donor jeep cause there some small brakets like for the transfercase shifter, blah blah. Is it worth it hahaha yes!!!! It made my jeep way more enjoyable to drive and use. If you have any questions I can help you with any part of the swap. App you got to do is pm me.
