Don't do it Man!

Not the 4X4 badges... you gotta keep your rig somewhat "original", ya know?


Really, congrats on the progress... AND the motivation!!!

Yeah, you cannot mix brakes/hub components.

90+ had the larger brake caliper. You can take everything off your 93's 2wd axle and install on the new 4wd housing. From outter knuckles out..

Congrats on the conversion.

What brand of radio is that in your dash???????

I converted a 2WD 96 a few years back. Worked great for hunting at the time. Sold that rig to a buddy before moving back to Texas. Last time I talked with him it was still working great.

You know you're driving right when somebody has a death grip on the seats like that

Good work, I bet you've got a good idea what's going on under the Jeep now...which is always a good thing.
