ive got an 01 2wd automatic and want to convert it into a 4x4 how much would the price be around and how much work would have to be done? or would it just be cheeper buying an old junker and fixing that up to be an off-roader?
:g uns:

 

Buy the old clunker and swap the front axle, transmission/transfercase, t-case linkage, and drive shafts over to your 2wd.

 

Question: Do you need to change tranny when converting a Cherokee from 2wd to 4wd?
And if so, why?

 

Yes because a t-case doesn't have anything to bolt onto on a 2wd tranny. Unless you have a 4wd parts vehicle sitting around you'll come out cheaper buying a 4wd.

 

I'm actually in the process of converting mine to 4wd. Not that expensive for parts, the hardest part is going to be swapping transmission, other than that easy peasy.

 

Transmission must be from 98 to 01 so its bolt-in ! Im also looking at converting mine, just waiting for the parts to appear at the right price

 

Of all vehicles the Cherokee is probably one of the easiest to convert from 2wd to 4wd.

 

pretty much any unibody is. Otherwise 99% of the time youre looking at frame swaps in addition to everything else.

 

You're obviously from South Carolina with that many guns.

 

Im from SC. And i stand behind that statement 100%

 

It's not that bad I did it took my time replaced everything while it was apart one day did the axle waited a week the did the trans trust me get some drinking buddies to come help











I did oil pan while I did trans swap just something you might want to consider

 

X3, South Carolinians always have guns
