I am looking at doing a 2wd to 4wd conversion on an MJ. What all is needed?

[dfreeman616]

rd84, you need a front axle, front driveshaft, rear driveshaft specific to your wheel base/trans/tcase/axle combo, 4wd transmission, transfer case, 4wd transmission crossmember, and 4wd linkage. if your front axle is a vacuum diconnect modle, you also need the vacuum linkage. beyond that, you might want a center consol to accomediate the t-case shifter, and anything else depends on what you want to do at the same time (upgrade steering, control arms, lift, etc...

 

i think that's about it. since the 2wd's use a solid axle and the same suspension set up, it's pretty simple as far as conversions go.

Nice. I'm doing an almost identical project. .250 wall tubing? Do you need to/Are you going to add bracing to the unibody and crossmember connection? Good luck.

did you order the crossmember reght from BDS seperate. That's a nice piee to start out with and would save me alot of time from fabing my own. How much was it if you don't mine me asking?
