87' 2wd aw4 to 2wd ax15 transmission swap

[IronManche87]

Okay, I've long been dreaming of doing the ax15 swap on many of the Cherokees I've owned, but they were all 4wd for the most part. Now I've found myself with a neat 87' Comanche Chief 4.0 2wd with the aw4. I've seen and read about the ax15 swaps and hearing they're fairly easy, BUT most also do the 4wd swap at the same time. Since it's gonna be more of a daily or go to Pismo occasionally I was thinking of keeping it 2wd. My question is if I was keeping it 2wd, what all would I need in order to do the swap? ANY AND ALL SUGGESTIONS/HELP/KNOWLEDGE/TIPS MUCH APPRECIATED!!!! Thanks in advance CC!!

Transmission, AX15 crossmember, flywheel, master and slave cylinders, clutch, longer driveshaft. Maybe the panel where the shifter comes through the floor from a manual cherokee.

Try to find a 1994 or newer transmission so you can go external slave.

If you can't find a 2wd transmission use a 4wd with a transfer case and just don't put a drive axle in the front.

Mine was like that for a couple years.

Wow lol not how I thought I replied xD I'm still new to the forum and haven't done the whole quoting thing maybe it's my phone. But anyways, thanks for the info!! Only concern was as I was reading I thought the speedo on newer ones came electronic?? If so how do I go about hooking that up?? Also, I don't still need the TCU correct?? And does the oil cooling still use the existing lines that run through the radiator??
