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

what tranny do have in it right now? you must have a 4wd parts rig if you have all these parts. swap them all over. then you will have 4wd.

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
