Default 2WD to 4WD conversion

Hey so im new to the cherokee forum and had a couple of questions. So for a little background i have wanted a cherokee forever and i bought my cherokee 8 months ago. First i put a 3 inch rough country lift then i but 31s on it. I have always wanted a 2 door and finally found one that would be perfect for a winter project. Only problem is thats its 2wd. Just wondering how hard it would be and everything that i need to make it 4wd. Would it be easier to take the motor out of my other cherokee which is 4wd? Thanks

Lifted 2 doors kind of suck.

It is hard to access the back seat and they have a reputation for cracking because they only have one vertical pillar to add strength.

I really regret not getting a 4 door.

I still like the look though.

2 doors look sweet. Both my street and trail rigs are 2drs.

As far as the 4we I have an entire 4we parts jeep, and I'm looking for a spare 2wd trans to experiment on

Yeh for sure 2 doors look sick! The problem for me is that its definitely hard to find a two door up here thats not completely rusted out and is savable.
