damn very nice, this is the same thing i want to do to mine, i got mine from doing a engine swap in a rsx type s and the guy works at a tow yard so instead of paying me i got my 96 cherokee country it came with 31xd10.50 on stock 15".. only problem is its 2wd and ive been very tempted to just throw a lunchbox in the back but i have a feeling with some of the trails i want to go on that it wont be enough...

so i want to convert mine to 4wd as well ive been doing some research, and i heard that you just have to change the tail snout of the aw4 to use the transfer case, im not completely sure if thats true but ive been trying to figure out what i need because mine has 230k on it but runs awesome, the tranny has no problems so id rather convert mine then sell it and buy one thats 4wd but might have problems..

anyways good work im gonna keep updated in this thread to see how you do putting the transfer case on

ive head u could use the 2wd aw4 but u have to have a adapter plate and i hear its pricey so im just going to get tranny and t case together (easier to me) and then change out ur front axle run ur t case leaver and thats about it good luck with the swap its not bad at all oh and btw thanx for the kind words

Sweet looking Jeep and nice work converting it to 4wd... I like the M/T style wheels, do you know who makes them or where they can be bought?
