Both 2 1/4" and 3 1/2" will work fine. There aren't any full kits out there for the MJ, so if you're lookin' to replace the whole thing, you'll want to hit up your local shops to get some quotes. :thumbsup:

Yup. sorry, but they won't work on a Comanche. :( the leafs aren't long enough.

^^^ has better paint than I. :(

if anyone ever has trouble shrinking/cropping/whatever a photo for their sig or avatar, simple email me the image and I'll take care of the rest. :thumbsup:

sorry, but I don't see anything in those links. :dunno:

there's a thread in the DIY forum about going from stick to auto. It should help you out with going the other direction. :thumbsup:

Please see rule number 3. :thumbsup: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=16664

I wasn't aware that rusty made a 6" leaf pack for the Comanche. :hmm: their website doesn't show it. :dunno:

dodge dakota will work for the rear. :thumbsup: although 20 year old rubber brake lines are not exactly the best place to save cash.

can someone that knows iron this out for me? I had an assumption in my head but would like to know for sure if all the renix years were the same.

yeah, most XJs were autos. keep an eye on TJ/YJs. they are more likely to be sticks.

my 90 only had a half inch or so of the original external slave line left and I found a way to make it work. You could always try to get your hands on a used slave with more line left on it.

how short was the slave line cut? I've successfully adapted 2 Renix era MJs to external slaves using a simple 1/4 to 5/16" compression fitting from the hardware store. You can't use that type of fitting on brake lines, but clutch lines are under much lower pressures. Also, the guts that go in the t-case for the speedo are indeed swappable. you may need to mix and match with the little gears or stub shafts to make it work.

it will, but not without the expensive flip kit and/or a whole lotta fabbing.

I'm confused. 6" lift leaf springs? what vehicle did they come from?

They could have just added in a leaf. Can you snap a couple pics of the leafs?

the fuel injector is known to clog over time too.

not yet. :D

yup. :thumbsup:

did you check the connector behind the tire?

If I remember this right, and if everything goes perfect, you'll need a floor jack, 2 jack stands, an angle grinder,whatever wrench it takes (15mm? 18mm?), and a can of PB Blaster (or other rust penetrant, not WD-40). maybe $50 or so in costs if you get the inexpensive stuff. All Jeep owners should own these tools. :D Add in a hammer and a long screwdriver to help the process along.

later years of the Explorer 8.8 has disk brakes, and the Jeep Dana 44 can be upgraded to disks fairly easily.

I would most definitely drive a 4.0/stick on 31" tires and 4.56 gears. :D and I'd smile the entire time. :D :D :D No different than a v6 Rodeo running factory 4.30 gears and 29" tires. oh, and a blown rear axle is a pretty poor reason to kill off a truck. :( A hundred bucks and an afternoon's work and it'd be up and running again. :thumbsup:
