its pretty simple conversion, i did it on my 93 in an evening. basicly u need the manual hubs, and the spindle nut conversion kit. i'd also go with the heavyr jeep hubs pn 37780 as mentioned here... http://www.therangerstation.com/Magazine/May04/offroad.htm

there is a couple tutorials under "Hubs" in the tech library.
