Need Help on what to get for 4x4 conversion
Hello everyone
I have recently acquired a 1996 2dr Jeep Cherokee 6cyl 2wd 4.0 and am completely new to 4 wheeling but I think it is so much fun can anyone help me find out exactly what parts I might need for the full conversion? it would all have to be stock since I live in Mexico and most likely it will all be from the junkyard or parting out Jeeps, thanks in advance

I did the conversion in mine about 2 years ago, simple and bolt on pretty much, I took everything, Engine and all out of the donor vic and put it in mine, I had everything done by myself in about 4 days

Someone called my name! The 4wd conversion isnt that hard to do. The things I found you will need is listed below.
1. Front Differential
2. Transfer Case
3. 4wd Transmission
4. 4wd Transmission Wiring Harness
5. Shift Linkage For Transfer Case
6. Shifter and Bezal For Interior
7. Front and Rear Drive Shafts
8. And All The Nuts And Bolts For Everything
Now Its not has hard as it looks. You have to have patients when pulling in the transmission or else you can damage something. Im alomst done with my convertion. I just have to hook up the shift linkage and Im done. If you have any questions feel free to PM me.
