So I've got a slightly built '94 XJ with a blown motor and a stock ZJ daily driver. I was wondering if anybody knows if the '94 tranny and T-case would work with that '97 4.0L ZJ. There are also some other offroad worthy goodies I'm planning on pulling from the XJ

These are the 2 jeeps I'll be using :-)

Anything will work if you're willing to put in the work.

Work isn't the issue, just haven't been able to find a solid answer on the compatibility of the parts lol

I'm a little curious out of all my available options between the ZJ and XJ drivetrains what would be the most reliable/strongest combo, even the axels, are the better in one or the other?

XJ D30, ZJ steering, XJ engine,trans,t-case, xj rear you have now. It'll all go together with some minor modifications.

Only year ZJ had an AW4 was the first, 1993. The 4.0L was paired with a AW4/242.
If you were to get a 1993 ZJ, 4.0/Auto PCM it would be plug in pray.
T-case should bolt up. Just noticed yours is OBD2, so dunno how well the AW4 would work.

are you looking to keep the ZJ DD status, or turn it into a trail rig?

Swap HPD30, AW4 & NP231. Rear axle is the same. AW4 will work if you put some time into it and you will have a badass Jeep.

This jeep is going to be a weekend warrior. Daily driven and hopefully capable of trail runs and camping. So the motor in the XJ is pretty much shot. The ZJ ( OBD 2 ) motor is fine. Would the XJ tranny and transfer case work the the ZJ motor? ( sorry I'm kinda new to jeeps so I'm not completely sure of parts codes and all that )

Just put the **** together and go.

Tylerzap

yes they will swap but it will be some work getting the TCU to transfer and work.
