Default 4x4 conversion./ parts jeep..?

Ok guys I know this topic has been covered but I have a few questions that past threads didn't answer.
I have a 93 jeep xj sport 4.0 4x2.
The problem is my babygirl is a 4x2... I wana change that.
So im fixen to go to a few pick and pulls and get some parts....but what will I need. And what years would be best?..
Also since im on subject. If I can find a 4x4 parts jeep to do my conversionwhat years would be best? For the best parts. Thanks guys.

91-95.
Front axle
Front and rear drive lines
Tranny and transfer case
Xfer case shift linkage.
Xfer case shift handle.
Rear axle if gear ratio is different.

Won't work! That year axle sucks. And the tranny and xfer case are wrong. You need the 91 and up also.

Better to get it and not need it then to pass it up and have to go back for it.

Just stick to years close to yours. All in all it's simple. Count splines on tcase to trans, linkage, similar axle gear wise and go from there.

Pm me if you have any questions, I put the finishing touches on mine

The axles are garbage! They use cv style front axles and d35 rear ends.
And the linkage is different.
None of it will be worth it.

Mine was 4x2 also I did the swap 2 months ago. Pretty easy. Just gather all your parts first. Check out my build.
