A full explanation and demonstration of the 4x4 swap in the 1987 to 2001 Jeep Cherokee. Using factory parts, we can equip a 2wd Jeep with real 4wd. This costed me a very odd and not necessarily calculable amount of money, because on one hand, I already had all the parts, but on the other hand, I also rebuilt my transmission and transfer case. So I couldn't tell you a real cost or time estimate.
YOU NEED:
-A 4wd Transmission
-A Transfer Case (NP231 or NP242)
-Driveshafts front & rear
-Dana 30 Front Axle (of matching gear ratio!)
-4wd Shift Linkage: [ Ссылка ]
-4wd Lever Mechanism, Lever, Shift Gate & Trim Bezel
-Speedometer & 4wd Switch Wires
-Vent Hoses
Use a Wrangler (or Liberty) Transmission in a Cherokee; Bryant prefers Email to buy the part: partsbybryant@gmail.com
