Hi, first off i know what all is involved in the swap.. iv done my fair share of reading up on this. My question is when it comes to the conversion i only see two options..
Option A) pull a whole drivetrain from donor jeep and intall into project.
I wouldnt mind this but i dont have a donor jeep nor the room for it lol.
Option B) (imho..not a good option at all!) dismantle the aw4..still requires removal and swap in the main shaft from a 4wd trans to the 2wd. again why someone would elect that as an option i dont know.
My question is, would pulling the tail housing off the rear of my 2wd aw4 and taking some measurements off a 4wd aw4 (from a way earlier year) that i have and cutting down the rear output shaft to length work?
It wouldnt be too much different from a hack n tap the way i see it. i have heard of ppl mentioning this in some threads but not really talked about much. just wanted yalls two cents on this idea.
