Update: first of all, thanks for the help. So the roller dose have a clean title. How would a '94 Cherokee 4.0 be for a doner? Drive train, aw4,including electrical system. Although a may go with 8.8 rear? Going to look at the Cherokee today, so I'll have more info later.

I too would hate to see an mj sliced up. But that is a good point about the title. I will get the info, and post pronto.Thanks.

This is similar to "theislandnut" thread recently/currently happening. I was going to hold back, but my scenario is a bit different. I'm getting close to having my project mj complete. It's an '89 short bed, 4.0 renix, ax15, sye,rear d44,front d30hp,5+\- inch lift, 35"bfg, upgrade steering, brakes, currently completing cruisers 27 commandments, bunch other stuff, this truck is coming together nicer than I expected. So, during this build,I have been "collecting" extra parts. I have the opportunity to pick up a rolling chassis. Bed and cab are rust free. I could, cut out the cab corners, rockers, floor pans, keep the chassis/bed for a trailer build, and salvage every part I could, like I just bagged me a deer. Or I could hold onto the roller, and with my extra parts, and incoming parts, do a slow build and very mild. Keeping it as inexpensive as possible. I do, however need to find a drive train. With patience, I should be able to come across a good find. So my big question is, buy?(300bucks), walk? Cut up for my parts inventory? Or do a slow mild/stock build? FYI: I do have an open bay in my garage (both jeeps would be in garage), the roller is 2wd, and needs a rear axle, body is solid, which is hard to find in my region. I'm a long time reader,first time writer. Thank you for all the help, and entertainment this awesome forum has given me. If I win the lottery, I will have a party and invite everyone.

Thank you! Looking at Craig's list and local yards for parts. I'll need two "s" hooks, one heavy gauge lever wire, and one large spring (passenger side). Or a bench seat that works. Wich ever I find first.

Thank you. Looks like the one and obvious spot is a hole that is shared with a spring. And I will use an S hook to support the wire from sagging,as per the detail you sent me. That should do it. Will be painting body parts and on the road/trails soon.

Hello, I have an '89 that I took out of service and it has been in my garage for over a year now. Turns out that I'm doing way more work than I anticipated, but loving every minute of it. So, the bench seat is missing a part, been that way since I purcased from po. Seems to be that there should be a heavy gauge wire from the driver side adjuster lever to the passenger side spring lock (for the seat adjustment). There is a tab with a hole on the lever, however I can not find anything on the passenger side that looks like the spot for the other end that would work. I'm hoping that somebody has access to a bench seat and is able to send a photo of this detail so I can figure this all out. Thank you in advance, can't wait to get my MJ back on the road!

Hey Garvin awesome work on your truck! We'll keep in touch about wharton, so far one other response.
