The disc brakes are a bolt on however. Just some messing with the Ebrake cables and the brake lines. They went to a different fitting. Ask me how I know.

you need
Front D30 axle complete
A transfer case. NV231 or NV242. You need to figure out the
difference. 231 is the most popular
Front Drive shaft.
Shifting linkage (See 231 or 241)
New rear drive shaft (It's much shorter now that you've added
a transfer case.)
Lots of time.
Lots of patience.
Good Luck

Does anyone have pics of how a headliner with the rear speakers mounts? I just got a replacement at the JY. My original did not have speakers. I have read there is a mounting plate on the roof and the rear light mounts to that. So, I need pics of that so I can see about making what I need to support the speakers.
The JY was not a pull your part, so I did not get a look as to how it was mounted.
This would be for the speakers in the headliner, I believe post 97. Not the speaker bar that is not incorporated into the headliner, pre 97.
Thanks
