How did u end up with a 2wd jeep?

You ll need 4.10s for the rear my guess since its 2wd it don't got them

I think it's a noble effort, but wouldn't it just be cheaper to sell your 2wd Jeep and buy a similar one in terms of year/mileage with 4wd?

They made a limited run of the 2WD version for a number of years. Jeep stopped a couple of years ago.

ditto - isn't worth the trouble...sell it and get a used or new one already set up.

I know there is a thread on here about it, I'm just too lazy to find it for you.

Good luck with your project!!!

I don't know if you made this list before I talk to you , but a lot of the stuff on you list is the same things

# 4 , 9 and 10 take off your list
Here is some pictures of the adapter and adapter mount

Maybe if you can find a 4wd and only have to pay between 900 to 1500 difference

I converted mine and my total cost after upgrades was 1800
