Currently have a 2wd 1998 XJ: 4.0, AW4, Chry 8.25 rear with 3.55 gears, aussie locker, etc.

Just picked up a 4x4 2000 XJ: 4.0, AW4, Chry 8.25 rear, Dana 30 front, 3.55 gears, NP231.

I have been reading the conversion threads here and on NAXJA, but I really want to make sure I don't forget anything. I would hate to be elbow deep in this swap and have to run to the JY or parts store every 5 min.

List of items so far: all necessary tools, new rotors and pads, input/torque converter seal, pan gasket/filter, cooler lines, trans cooler, trans fluid, gear oil, SYE, extra front ds, pb blaster, rtv.

Is there anything I am missing? Thanks for any ideas or experience. Can't wait to get this done!!!

Just curious, why don't you just buy yourself a 4wheel and trade the parts you want and sell the 2 wheel, prolly do it for free. . .

Anyway, I don't see the new rear drive shaft on your list. Did you get the center console parts (The gateway)? What about the transfer case mounts?

I bought a complete 2000 XJ so I have all the linkages and console parts. I meant the extra front DS to be used as a rear after the sye, I was not very clear in some of that. I guess I was a little excited.

I would just put all the stuff from my 98 on the 4x4, but the new one is a real beater... It would take a small fortune just to pass inspection. And I love mine, we've had it since it was new and is in great shape. If the 2000 was in the same shape it might be a different story.
