who has done a 4wd swap on a 2wd im trying to find me a 2 dr 5 spd cherokee and found a nice 2wd one. is this pretty much a bolt on thing? a t case dive shaft and front axle?

 

And transmission and console with levers and linkage. Yeah pretty much bolt on, but the years must also match.

 

Why a trans?

 

Because the tail housing and output shaft on your 2WD Jeep will not bolt up to the transfer Case. You must have a tranny for a 4WD.

 

well that sucks sounds like its not worth it is everything pretty much bolt on?

 

If you can find a cheap donor you could easily do it..Although if you can find a 4wd XJ I would go that route first.

 

This true but its freaking hard so find a clean 97 and up 2 door with the 5 speed ugh

 

I would say that if you have to ask, you might not be willing to put in the effort needed. I know I would be able to do it, but not sure I would want to. But then again, I'm getting ready to fab a D30 under a Ford Ranger... I got a parts XJ for free, but see running XJs for $300 and up. If you just need one for parts to make a 2WD one 4WD, then get the 2WD you want, and collect parts till you have EVERYTHING you need. But be prepared for a ton of work.

 

i know i could do the work im in the same boat you are its if i really want to ha im just going to wate till i get that dam 2door 5 spd with 4wd
