shifting linkage, drivelines, t-case shifter parts (including linkage part that bolts to floorpan), t-case shift bezel for center console.

well you need to take out the 2wd tranny for starters lol. then reinstall the 4wd tranny with the t-case. I think there's only one more electrical connector that connects somewhere. but thats about it
