    I know huh? breaks your heart.
  3. The 97+ PCMs are the same, and the 97+ gauge cluster only differs in the higher MPH "certified" speedo.

    YARG!

    Already got some plans in the works, father is thinking about tow-baring the truck from AZ back to CO somehow....... that or just towing it behind the CRD on a uhaul dolly
  5. Woops, keeping me honest, since he didn't specify front or rear axle and the topic was 4wd conversion I assumed he meant front. But yes, if your going with a rear axle out of the same donor then you will need to weld spring perches on.
  6. IIRC the knuckles are the same, so they should work just fine. Though it would be worth it to replace 20 year old tie rods with new ones, so its kinda moot.
  7. No, everything is bolt-on.

    YARG!

    So I've been keeping my ear to the ground for a shell, all them I have found are either aluminium, too far away(like across the country), or the perfect thing for but a shortbed. So now I find a really good deal on one, and its not within reason to drive to pickup, but I cannot for the life of me figure how the logistics would work for me to pick it up........ yarg.......... Anyone passing through arizona into colorado that could haul a fiberglass top for me?
  9. No, they call it pissing INTO the wind.
  10. you can replace that whole bit....... replaced it on many cherokees, any 87+ will work for the donor piece. should cost less then $30 at a junkyard, you can sawsall it off, then remove the spot welds and reweld.
  11. a 97+ 8.25 is a good option too.....and easy to throw disc brakes on. they can be had for $100 or so.
  12. too much tire and lift on that scout.
  13. I have heard those referred to by different sources as "5-stars"

    I have a friend who needs a VGT turbo for a VM engine......got any spares of those? (we have someone checking with VM in michigan too, but who knows how that will pan out)
  15. Yup, you can buy new frames and bodies. Its having all the little parts that makes it worth it. And ya, for $50 its hard to go wrong.
  16. no, this is crazy: http://jomzo.com/media/189/Scary_hiking_trail/ (NWS for images on the linked page)
  17. looks rusty

    You tease..... I love those VM engines. Take a bunch of fullsize pics of BOTH engines, from as many different angles, showing as many different things as you can, I will eat em all up. Any chance any of those VM parts could find their way to me?

    I'll take those axles......lemme know when I can pick them up... And I would go with option number two....... Actually, could you do me a favor and grab a bunch of good pics of engine #2?

    That guy actually lives here in fort collins, he posts around on naxja.

    Score!

    Ha, ya the top is just kinda where I throw crap.....its too high for me to really store anything, so $#!& just gets piled up there. Ya, I got my blueray player there($150 from 200) my grill($200 from $400) my lawnmower(don't remember how much it was or marked down). All of em were in perfect shape with nothing wrong, the only exception was my lawn mower needing a carb.
  22. those will work just fine, those are the TJ canyons, 15"x8" on 5x4.5"
  23. Sir Sam

    Score!

    During my regular trip to samsclub on friday night I always check out the markdown/return area. Find some pretty good deals in there, well tonight I found a brand new heater...... Wallmount electric, 1200W infared, original price $85, markdown $35. brand new, been taken out of the box, but nothing was missing and it had not been turned out before. Gonna make working on the front of the MJ a lot nicer in the cold. Also, who puts up drywall in a garage without putting insulation in behind it? (plus when I moved in there were about 6 rolls of insulation up in the rafters of the garage :nuts: )
  24. She is 4 and the boy is 10. Pff, 6 year break.......slacker.
  25. Me too! I named both my kids after Mopars. My son's name is Dakota and my daughter's name is Shelby. This is what I named Dakota after. And this is where Shel's name came from How old is your daughter?
