I have a '89 MJ Eliminator in line for restoration on my driveway... it is bone stock and has the 4.0, Pugeot 5-speed and 3.07 D35.
I was thinking about converting it to 4wd as part of the restoration since I have both a 4wd Pugeot w/ 231 and a AW4 w/ 242 in my garage.
My thought was that despite the added weight of the 4wd hardware, the full time feature might be useful on a street performance MJ. I would, of course, swap in 3.55 axles with the automatic.
Any thoughts or opinions on 2wd vs. 4wd in street applications? I'm not looking for a dragster here, but something that would be nimble in corners, etc.
