4x4 conversion
Probably going to buy a t case tonight.. It includes the case and linkage and the sensor, no wiring. Will I need anything else specifically for the t case?

Find a beater (Full XJ) of a compatible model year to use as a donor, unless you have the t case, trans, and front axle already.
I picked one up for $700, pulled everything I wanted, sold the motor for 350, sold a few other items for 100, gave a buddy the seats, and scrapped the rest for 250. Basically a free 4x4 conversion. If you have the means and the time to find the right donor, it makes everything easier.

Only reason I bought this Jeep was because it was so cheap! I only paid $800 for it.. Needs floors but PO was honest and told me everything wrong! Currently working on floors, it's well worth the money IMO. I can't wait to convert it. PO said he was gonna concert it but didn't have the time.

^X2^ Total waste!
In your case drive yours the way it is and look for a decent 4wd XJ ready to go while your saving your money for one. I know that sounds harsh but you will come out money and time ahead going that route.
It sounds like your not even sure what parts you even need for this project much less the knowledge to assemble and complete the project, therefore the need to buy what you need in the beginning.

I did a 4x4 swap also its a process and without a donor XJ it would be a huge task to find things. While your at it save your self the trouble and by the simplified boost works tcase linkage or I think advanced adapters has one too. I wish I had and will be this summer.
