Help!!!
 
ok im really new to cf so i hope this is the right section but anyway in a week im buying a 1998 xj only problem is it is 2wd and i'd like to convert it to 4wd i have talked to some ppl and most ppl said its a fairly easy swap with decent mechanical knowledge i know ill need a 4x4 transmission,t-case, front axle geared same as rear, front and rear drive shafts, and t-case linkage. is their anything else that u guys can think of that id need or if anyone has any of these parts and is willing to help me out with descent prices for them please let me know.

Hope your getting a good price. If it were me i would be hitting up craigs list and tring to find a whole cherokee close in year with a shot motor or maybe one that has been rolled. It would probably be cheaper in the long run

yea im gettin it for fifty bucks and its in really good shape other than the transmission just went out but if i do the swap i would be changing it anyway so thats not a problem

posjeepxj 02-02-2010 11:44 PM

that is a great price

jeepin64 02-02-2010 11:47 PM

yea so thats my reason of wanting to convert it plus it just gives me a project to have fun with and as i've heard so many times since ive started using cf jeeps are built not bought lol

posjeepxj 02-02-2010 11:52 PM

and alot of people say that after they buy a complete lift kit and bolt it on. I build anything i possibly can (I am a cheap f****r)

Ha ha you and me both y waste the money when u can make ur own

posjeepxj 02-03-2010 12:02 AM
