He guys just wanted to take a minute to say hello and introduce myself.  My name is Juan.  I'm new to the 4wd world.  Right now I have a jeep cherokee.  it's only 2wd so it doesn't go off-roading very well.  I was talking to some people  and they said that I can make it 4wd pretty easily.  This is my second vehicle.  My 1st was a 1983 Ford Escort which I had for 3 years until It got hit in the rear.  I'm looking forward to meeting all of you and being able to go off-roading!

First Welcome. 

Second- the conversion is not that hard, but does require a front axle, transfercase, transmission out put (easier to replace transmission from what I have read), front and rear drive shafts.  If you can find a wrecked 4wd or one with a blown motor it will make the swap easier since it would have all the parts.  If you could find a 97+ you would get the stronger U-joints in the front axle, and possibly a 8.25 rear axle.  Any year XJ would work, as long as it is a 4wd.  I looked at buying a 2wd XJ a few months back and I looked into the conversion, but I found a good deal on a 4wd so I bought it.

I also saw something on desert racers.  Jeepspeed I think it was called.  It seems like that would be a cool way to get around.
