Default 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
