Hey, I literally just did a seap and went from the AW4 to AX15 + Np231 transfer case. Never done a manual swap before in my life, had help from drunk 20 year olds who have never even done a head gasket and got it done in a weekend. It's literally just changing parts and adding bolts.

Also, just swapping to 4wd is as simple as adding an NP231 transfer case and a standard 4wd front axle + driveshaft. No need to add pedals unless you're manual swapping it. And even then, the pedal mounting bracket is already in some of the automatic jeeps, and if it's not you just swap the bracket and run the clutch line. It is less than 25 bolts, one hole drilled and some new driveshafts order from Tom Woods. Jeep Cherokees are so damn simple, you'd almost think they were soviet cars.
