How about the electronics? Is it all just plug & play? Like, is there a Part Time/Full Time indicator already installed in the 2wd dash? I always thought about converting my 2wd, but eventually bought a 4x4. If it's as easy as you say, perhaps I already have my next project!

In retrospect it could have been cheaper, but I got my 2wd xj with 130k miles for $500. The conversion overall cost around $300 or so buying all the parts and about 20 hours with 3 fellas in a shop with air tools and one floor jack who have never done it before. Everything bolted right up, the only issues we have are a bolt broke in my manifold so I don't have my exhaust right now, the o2 sensor was the wrong fit I guess so off the the jy, and I have the wrong front yolk from a yj(got my tcase from a yj)

Prepared the fronts for trimming. Also cut and folded a little tab of metal on the inner fender that was cutting my fenders at full lock. Lastly, removed the inner fender mat that was falling down.
