you will also need t-case shifter with bezel and linkage along with front AND rear drive shafts.
be sure to grab the parts from a 95 and up so you get the larger joint axle shafts and no chance to get the vacuum disconnect axle.
you can choose either the 242 full time case, or the 231 part time case, which i prefer as there's better aftermarket support.
i plan on doing this with a 5spd comanche in the future. gonna change it to auto. i already have a donor jeep with low miles. (my hundred buck jeep).
