'87 Cherokee Laredo
I just got an '87 Cherokee Laredo. Once upon a time it was a 4wd, but
the last owner wrecked it and it's now a 2wd. I've never touched
anything internal on a watercooled vehicle so I'm pretty lost as to how
to get it back to 4wd (VW bugs are what I know, and my baja didn't come
with 4wd. :).
I'd really like to make it a good off-roader that can be driven on the
street too so I'll likely be back to you guys for help.
What do I need to get it back to 4wd, where's the best place to find
what I need and money is definitely an issue. Hehe. That's my first task
as everything else on it works.
Thanks in advance,
Kidd

Re: '87 Cherokee Laredo
It is usually cheaper to find a similar Cherokee with all of the parts that
you need and switch them over.
Rusted but running well will be a good candidate for you!

Re: '87 Cherokee Laredo
I would guess if the previous owner didn't think it was worth
making the four wheel drive repairs, than more than likely the wreck
punched out the front axle and transfer, probably replacing the front
end with their dummy tube. Take it to your local service station and
have the attendant confirm it.

Re: '87 Cherokee Laredo
She just didn't want to bother with it. She had her boyfriend fix it the
fastest and cheapest way possible. I did talk to him and he said it
could go back to 4wd if I want to put the time into it. My brother in
law also looked at it and said it could go back. I just need to know
what parts to get it there and likely I'll be doing it myself. I'm not a
complete idiot when it comes to vehicles. Just a partial idiot. :)
