yeah if there are other ones in the same year as yours that came 4wd that means it is already set-up for it. i suggest to swap in aftermarket/stronger components the first time instead of haing to redo it down the road.

lol.... ranger... i have one too.... stick with the 2wd. the best, cheapest way to do it is to sell it, and buy a 4wd.... and the jeep, drive lines, transfer case, tranny, i'd regear the rear, suspension (sp?), (4wd jeeps sit a tad bit higher), and other misc nickle and dime bull sh*t. But yeah, it can be done.
Again, i'd rather sell it, and just buy a 4wd. Much cheaper. Craigslist in richmond section has a few cherokee's cheap.... so check them out... might get a good trade deal....
good luck with the swap if you go for it.

It is definitely possible. I can't believe my friend (mudstuck) hasn't posted on here yet so I will. We converted his a while back and was semi-challening in that we had to find rarer parts that were splined (21 spline i believe) differently for his 4cyl. Anyway heres the write up he did. Good luck.

yeah build it up so you dont have to replace broken parts down the road later on

yeah its possible, I did it. The only reason I had trouble finding parts is because my cherokee had a 4cyl and AX-5 transmission (can't find too many of those in the junkyard). If you have a cherokee with the AW4 automatic, it makes the conversion much easier.
once again, heres the writeup I did on how to convert: http://xjfanatic.com/4wd1.php
