How hard would this be to do? I am considering it but don't know if it's worth my time. I have located a 2wd in good shape with a title and a 4x4 without a title and runs great it just doesn't have a title. So I'm considering buying the 2wd for $500 and the 4x4 for parts for $500. Is this reasonable? What all does it require to change it over?

 

Its a bolt in. Change trans, add t case, front axle. Look how the 4 x 4 came apart. Put all the parts in same way. I did my MJ. No sweat.

 

What about putting the 4x4 stick in thru the floor?

 

All you do is cut a hole in the floor. I can measure my MJ if you would like. As far as where I cut the hole. Should be the same.

 

The hole should already be there in the XJ. What year are they?

 

Not sure, I cut mine.

 

If you have the parts truck its easy enough.

 

Hole was already there on my 99xj

 

the whole is there on mine as well

 

Must be an xj thing.

 

check this thread out... very easy to do... this guy has already gone through the whole process... turned out great

also, JP Magazine did a swap as well.... I think it may have been in an MJ though... still the same thing either way

 

So would you guys recommend doing this swap or no?

 

Yes. If you can wrench. No if you cant.
