The stat housing in the picture is 4wd, take the front off swap the stat and replace. You will loose a cup of coolant at most. The elbow has a bleed screw on the top.
I believe the 2wd stat housing is one piece. Take the whole thing off then swap stat and replace.
The 82 and 88 deg stats will open at different times. I personally wouldn't be changing from the stock stat.
If you mean fan switches then that's different
