Can I Replace Command-Trac w/Selec-Trac?
 

I have an 01 XJ which I really like. It has the Command-Trac part-time 4wd,
and I wonder if it would be possible/practical to swap in the Selec-Trac
system?

TIA!

Sure, that would be an easily accomplished swap. I wish Selectrac were
available in Wranglers but their short wheelbase makes that a bit more
difficult than for the longer wheelbased XJ.

Re: Can I Replace Command-Trac w/Selec-Trac?
 

I had it done on a 98 XJ. Purchased a jeep rebuilt tc and had the dealer
remove the old one and install the new one. The only other parts you will
need are the selectrac bezel indicator (with fulltime icon) and replace the
underlying command trac steel guide for the shifting pattern with the
selectrac guide. Two small parts.

I ordered the plastic bezel shift indicator, but forgot about the shifting
guide. I was able to modify the command trac guide to function as a
selectrac shifting guide...not a big job. Had to do some filing.

BTW, the total cost was $1,700. Which was probably less than I would have
spent if it was factory installed, because the selectrac option came with so
many more options that I didn't need.
