There was a guy down in (I think Alabama?) that swapped a Mercedes diesel engine into his MJ. Lost the truck when the ocean claimed the coast. :(

what engine do you have? and please turn off the caps lock. your posts are a bit hard to read.

compromise

I prefer not to use stickies because: -no one ever reads stickies -everyone's situation is different and there are numerous ways of lifting so I prefer to tailor each response to the owner's specific conditions -there's tons of info already here in the archives -no one ever reads stickies

with a complete kit. :thumbsup: What are your goals for your truck? how big of tire? daily driver or trail-only rig?

gotta link?

the Liberty came with several different rims. Which ones are you thinking of?

Me? Ford radius arms. :D

I think my ford axle is 78" wms to wms so this one would be a bit narrower. :thumbsup:

oooo... it's all shiney. :drool: More details please. :D

huh? he wants 100 for the bellhousing?!? or is there a transfercase involved here? If it's from a 90 and it's a manual, and it came from behind a 4.0, then it'll be an AX-15 (and you will need the bellhousing). but that doesn't make any sense that he wants so much for an internal bellhousing. :hmm:

I'd like a shot of the rear axle, and some underside photos showing how the flares flow into the body skirting. And I'm very serious about my offer of driving up there. :thumbsup: I'll snap all the pics and he won't have to do a thing. :D

Nope. one blew up and was made into art, and the other was simply hauled away for scrap (2wd and had issues).

$250 for MJ seats?!? He states "low-mileage" and he's in south east MI... I wonder if he got those seats from that 89 Elim I saw in the junkyard? If so, he paid $64 for the pair. http://detroit.craigslist.org/wyn/pts/1439829435.html

Rule # 1 about Jeeps is that there are no hard rules, only "rules of thumb". :thumbsup:

Does he know what year it's out of? engine that was in front of it? why so much if he doesn't know what it is? I wouldn't pay more than 150 for a perfectly functioning Peugeot. Save your money and look into the AX-15 swap. Oh, and the bellhousings do not swap between the 2. have you tried car-part.com yet?

S+W has been know to have some pretty good deals. Not usually much in the way of MJs though. http://www.sandwauto.com/ car-part.com can also help find stuff. I think S+W is even in that search engine.

I've thought about nabbing one in mountain bike form, just for the heck of it. :D If I had any money that is.

The ThunderChief was a 1987 Concept car. The Eliminator existed before 91. :thumbsup:

Do you have a tow rig? U-haul rents trailers and tow dollys. Or they rent tow rigs too, but that can get expensive for a long haul.

It's buried pretty good. The cars are all parked together with only walking space between them. We had an escort showing us around the buildings and he kept a pretty close eye on us. Can't imagine why. :dunno: Rob is correct, we were only allowed to snap pics of the LSR MJ because it was the one we had clearance to see. Secrecy is there main anti-theft policy. I'm guessing he's just going to walk back there, pull off the cover, snap some pics, then put the cover back on. I'm so glad we've been able to make contact with someone who might actually do something. :D Tell him I'd be more than happy to drive back and assist. :thumbsup:

If I'm ever out your way, I'll bring along some of my .32 shells. :D

shoot more. :D

I like my single shot shottys. I figure if I can't hit it the first time, I don't deserve it. :D

I've got some big ol' ford axles under my MJ and honestly, they aren't that bad if you add on some bushwacker flares. Wheel backspacing is key.
