Well my buddy acquired a 96 xj. he decided he would part it out because its 2wd and isnt worth all thats needed to be fixed up on it. He asked if i needed any parts so I looked it over and noticed it had the dual diaphragm booster(I'm guessing, its larger than mine) my question is how hard will this be to adapt in my MJ. its an 88. Will i have to change or modify the rod? I know the wj boosters need some clearance on the firewall. What about the lines going to the proportioning valve? will they bolt up or will I have to bend some new lines. Also the jeep is equipped with an electric fan, will this bolt into my mj? i will wire it on a toggle switch so I am not worried about the wiring thanks for the help guys

you see that alot around here too. People will cut through the side of the road then shortly after nails and other metal gets dumped in it

wow. just wow. :drool: awesome fleet

I hate that strech of road... I will be hitting it shortly here too :fs1: Too bad you couldnt throw a comanche club card at him :D

you shouldnt have to worry. my jeep is lifted 6inches on 35s and the roof is still lower than my dads stock tahoe

:wrench: glad to see its done, I hope the pics come back up, id like to get a better look at the truck

nice jeeps :wrench: I had a set of 33x13.5 ltbs on my mj. i have to agree they do awesome offroad

3/4 tons will be a good idea, some things to consider, does the axle drop on the right side? do you have the know how to swap the axles and make all the brackets line up? are you willing to clearance the floors for the new trans and t-case? are you up to the challenge of putting the 350 in? A few have done it in the past and the biggest issue is trying to keep it cool

If i were you, I would drop the truck down to 5 or 6 inches of lift and run 33s or 35s. It will be alot better on the road and trail. allso with 33s and maybe 35s you could keep your front dana 30 and swap in an 8.8 from an explorer or an 8.25 from a cherokee and be good to go. just another option for you to think about

also those contacts don't look too good. Id try and clean them up

He means put a socket on the crank and turn it. Its on the front of your motor, on the harmonic balancer. pull the spark plugs to make it easier to turn.

Go ahead and repost your questions in the technical section so you will get more views and answers. truck looks good, pretty tall though. Is this going to be your daily driver? also do you know what gears are in the axles? :wrench:

mmmm not john deere green i don't think. take the gas door off and have it matched

thanks for sharing. me and the roommates all got a chuckle

:no: slap you? what for!?!?!?! you are doing what is right :D sounds like you got a good score. and those old cjs are fun. My buddy had an early 5 we played with for a while but he got rid of it... wish he hadnt

I just put a set on my jeep. So far I like them, they pulled pretty good in the mud for me

good job saving her! sounds like it should be a good project

well my friend got the cj stuck in the pond, so i pulled him out, ill try and get the video. then i had to give it a try. drove through the water pretty good... had it half way up my door at one point, then i got her stuck in the muck

wow.... just wow.... what was his reaction when you told him?

WOW those are fast.. :wrench: good job. now i want some in my truck!

pulled a cj5 out of a pond... then drove mine through it.... then tried again and got stuck :wrench:

he is a member on here.... there are a few other threads floating around about those, its pretty cool. I was on another full size chevy forum and someone mentioned getting a comanche magnet :D :wrench:

keep it up! :wrench:

you are in my territory... and you are going back to my familys old stomping grounds (youngstown area).... werid. Tommy mclean is a mechanic in clover, about the only one i can think of at the moment

was the bed taken off for a trailer? If it was in such good shape why was it hacked up?
