2WD To 4WD 2007 Jeep JK Conversion



Because the JK was previously 2WD and didn't have a 4WD shifter, this required cutting out a portion of the factory console. The twin sticks are shown to the left of the factory transmission shifter. The 4SP shifter is shown next to the emergency-brake lever.

After initial testing of the 4WD JK conversion and also the addition of the Xenon front and rear fenders (which offer quite a bit more tire-to-fender clearance), we decided to fit slightly taller springs so 40-inch tires could be installed. A set of 40x13.50R17LT Goodyear Wrangler MT/Rs were mounted to a set of 17x8.5 Walker Evans cast-aluminum beadlock wheels.

Even with 40-inch tires, the Rancho suspension and Xenon flares permit ample suspension flex and clearance for the massive tires. Also note the cool Jeeperman rear bumper that ably supports a 40-inch spare tire and wheel.

With the Walker Evans beadlock wheels in place, the shorter length of the Dynatrac DynaLoc locking hub and Pro 60 Stub-Hub is very apparent. The hub is situated well within the width of the wheel where it will be less susceptible to hanging up on obstacles or becoming damaged.

In addition to the new suspension and driveline, Off Road Evolution also outfitted the JK 4WD conversion with ShrockWorks rocker guards, a PureJeep front bumper fitted with a Warn PowerPlant winch, and front and rear Xenon fenders. Off Road Evolution's unique aluminum door handles and hinges are also shown.
