Default 2wd to 4wd Conversion ?

Going to do conversion on my daughters JK, Got the following parts:

1*x* Mopar 52852986AC TRANSFER CASE ADAPTER
1*x* Mopar 4800385AA TRANSMISSION EXTENSION SHAFT
1*x* Mopar 52852998AA TRANSMISSION SEAL
1*x* Mopar 52854177AA NONE TUBE
1*x* Mopar 52121834AC SHIFT CABLE BRACKET

Shaft is NOT the correct shaft has more than 23 splines? And bracket does not look like it is correct either, two of the three holes lineup on the adapter?

Any help with correct part #'s would be greatly appreciated...

Aaron

PM Jaker on here. He just did the whole conversion. I thought it would be easy to source parts but it's not.
Transfer case $350
Driveshafts $200
D30-$400

Those are the couple big ticket items. Good luck! I'm trading in but I think I would have appreciated my Jeep more if I built it and converted it.

tail housing And tail housing mount

Shaft and cable

Shaft cable bracket on tail housing

I wonder if you got the 2wd shaft Chrysler change all the shaft numbers to the 2wd shaft , the old 4wd shaft has the same part number as the 2wd shaft

That's a different bracket for sure... Bracket I have does not match up on top left hole... I figured I might have gotten a shaft that might be for Rubi?

The shaft from the trans to the tranfer case is the same in all models , the part number you have listed used to be the 4wd shaft but Chrysler made that the 2wd shaft number the same , so you have to go to a 2011 wrangler to get the right number or use this one 52852915aa that's the shaft you see in the picture

And yeah you got the wrong bracket you got the one for the 5 speed auto , you need this one 52121833ac if its a 4 speed auto
