I've been "working" on this project for 6+ years and I'm finally starting to get to the real work.

I've got a 97 cherokee country 2wd auto that I am converting to a 4wd manual. The Jeep was given to me with a blown motor. I purchased a transfer case, 2 axles and a used motor a few years ago. Over the weekend I purchased the transmission and all the accessories and another transfer case. Just realized I forgot to get the bracket for the transfer case linkage that is under the jeep.

I plan on stroking the motor and rebuilding the transmission and transfer case.

Now that I have all the major parts it's time for me to get to work.

 

Got your work cut out for ya, good luck with it.
You should start a build thread.

 

Welcome from Wisconsin. You will be busy for a while.

 

I'm looking forward to getting into the technical aspects of this and sharing my progress. This forum looks pretty active so hopefully what I am doing can help others and I know I will need my fair share of help as well.

I'll start a build thread as soon as I get started.
