Find a 87 through 90 Cherokee 4.0/auto with the 242 transfer case. I believe up to and including 90 would still have the mechanic speedo, the transfer case bolts to a AW4, and everything you need is there with the exception of the rear drive shaft. For that take your 2wd shaft to a shop to have it shortened. Assuming your MJ is 4.0/auto, the front axle ratio should match your current rear axle.
