I forgot about the shortening of the rear driveline, thanks for reminding me. But actually, Chrysler has an adaptor for the tranny, which is relatively inexpensive, so you don't have to get a new transmission. As far as the new console, my mom has a 2wd, and hers actually has the groove for the shifter, it's just not cut out. Hers is an 07 though, so that might have changed. The linkages are why I bumped the price up to 1500 or so, as those are what I would consider "incidentals" 
But it really isn't all that difficult. It would however, take someone with substantial technical ability, and a decent set of tools. I have both, so my opinion may be skewed. I appreciate you reminding me about the rear DS, I have a friend that I will be helping with the conversion in a few months, and I would have forgot that. His wife would have been PISSED!!!!

Thanks for all the help guys. I think the best decision for the type and amount of wheeling I do is just a small lift with 35s and a winch. I'm looking into a rough country lift. What's the pros and cons on them?

After all we are in FL and unless you are a big mudder with a heavy foot you can get away with take offs for a while. I figure as I break parts I'll upgrade. Send me a PM with any questions. I'll send you a complete list of parts when I'm done. It will be a few weeks as I'm waiting for a few small parts to arrive
