Stock TJ bumper

until you get stuck and need 4wd to get up!

If you dont plan on doing and rough trails and just dirt roading it 2 wheel drive is fine...I do all my dirt roading and minor 3+ stuff in 2wd...good driving skills and the proper equipment will get your 2wd into alot of places most would never take there 4wd!

Use the 2wd MJ parts to get the 4wd MJ running. Sounds like a great deal regardless.

If you want to do limited wheelin with the 2wd MJ, at least put a limited slip in the rear axle.

I picked up an 88 MJ 4.0L 4x4 shortbed a few weeks ago for $150 US, and it runs. Straight body. It's gonna be one heck of a wheelin jeep, when I get some time.
