Default mhm what to do

Alright, i have a 93 2wd xj sitting in my field and a 91 xj that was wrecked 4wd got a 242 transfer case dane 30 all the jazz. i also have a 76 cj5 thats not in the best of conditions, i want a trail rig, now what im thinking is since i have all the stuff should i convert the 93 to 4wd or fix the cj5 for a rig. my dad and brother inlaw say the cj5 but from a since im strapped for cash the converting the xj seems like a better thing to do. what shoud i do !

your going to need to either swap the tranny out of the wrecked one into the 93 or swap the output shaft and housing on to the 93 tranny. option one is the easiest...the second one requires complete teardown of the trannys...

everything else should be bolt up
