So the Dakota axle matches the XJ perch separation distance? MJs are a different spacing than XJs.

When all is said and done, be sure to share the details of how you ordered, cost, and what not so that other guys with desperate wiring situations can see what it'll take to redo everything. I'm sure you're taking LOTS of pictures, yes?

Yes. But save the parts you're removing. Some guys prefer the column shifter. Especially if you've got full guages.

The gold colored coins? We've got them in the US too. $1 in value. Had Sacajawea on it a few years back, now it has George Washington. Not exactly very popular with the people though. But I enjoy using them. Ya get all sorts of funny looks from the guy on the other side of the counter as he tries to figure out what to do with them. :D

Yeah, no kidding. $15 to ship a lousy piece of plastic?

Better is indeed better. :thumbsup: I'd probably pay more attention to my diet though if I were in the same boat. :ack:

I'm just trying to protect my fellow MJ owners. :D

I didn't even get a response. :shake:

You might need to ask them. I can't say for sure if they're using the same colors and what-not. But if it makes you feel any better, the resistor is technically not needed to run the truck. It was added in 1988 as a means to quiet the pump noise.

:hmm: That's funny right there. :rotf: Could not resist making a special rank for ya. :D

I guess that's possible. :dunno:

What kit are you using for the re-wiring?

Are you installing a resistor in a truck that never had one?

Our family's favorite way to get to the Magic Kingdom is to park at the Wilderness Lodge and take the boat from there straight to the Kingdom. You get to walk through the awesome Lodge and don't have to fight the crowds at the Transportation and Ticket Center (There's no parking at the Magic Kingdom, everyone parks at the TTC and takes either the Monorail or the big Ferry). Be prepared that Disney frowns on this tactic (just think if everyone tried to do that!). Simply call the Wilderness Lodge asap and make a breakfast reservation for that morning. Tell the guard that as you arrive to the parking lot and he'll let you in. Then just don't go to the restaurant (there's no penalties for not showing up). Or, you can tell the guard that you're shopping or that you're doing a tour of the hotels. (every my family does a big hotel tour on our first day of vacation. most of the hotels are worth a visit unto themselves and it's totally free. :D ) Since you're driving, print up Disney's official road map. It's a life saver since many of the roads will do weird things for no apparent reason. http://www.disney.co.uk/usa-resorts/wal ... wdwmap.pdf Favorite place to eat is Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe in Tomorrowland. It' sorta cafeteria style (good prices) and has an awesome singing alien in the main room. He does a great "lounge singer" shtick. :D Second favorite is the Liberty Tree Tavern near the Haunted Mansion. I do believe it's a reservation place, so call asap if you want to eat there (you don't have to wait til the day you arrive to make reservations). When we first get to the park, we make a bee line for splash mountain and get fast-passes. Then go to big thunder mountain and ride it twice (or once if the place is long by the time we get through it once). Then we go ride splash. Be prepared that you might get wet or at least might end up sitting on a wet seat. Then we hit Pirates and the Haunted Mansion. Good places for a breaks are the shows. The Tiki Birds and Country Bear Jamboree are nice. The hall of Presidents is closed for updates. Hmm, I think Space Mountain is closed too. Also, if you want some piece and quiet, you can ride the raft over to Tom Sayers Island. Fewer people there and there are places to sit in the shade and nap. They used to sell food on the island. Not sure if they still do so you might want to ask a cast member when you arrive. If you want to do the Jungle Cruise, get fast passes for it instead and then go hit Splash and Big Thunder. The lines at the JC tends to fill up real fast and it can be a loooong wait. Don't attempt to stand in the regular line in the afternoon if it's hot out. Notice that I didn't mention any of Fantasyland. We tend to avoid it like the plague. The rides are quite dated and the lines tend to be horrible (both in time and in the fact that the area around the line is boring. Newer rides tend to have things around you to provide a pleasant distraction while in line). One exception is the 3D movie called Mickey's PhilHarmagic. Good show. Boring wait though. Since you've got a little one in tow, you'll likely have to make a concession or 2. Maybe even split up the party so the bigger kids can skip the boring stuff. And I'll PM you my phone number. Feel free to call anytime if you have a question about disney.

Sweet! :thumbsup: Is that a custom hood? Where did you get the front skirt? We need more pics! :D

Looks, schmooks. :shake: I sent him a message with a link to a photo showing the differences.

Left a CC card on any of them?

The mounting holes indicate that it's from a Dakota. Better let the seller know before someone gets screwed.

Not that I want to continue a trend of posting modified MJs, but I felt I just had to include this one. :D

Don't worry, it'll still be there next year. :thumbsup: I almost got a similar one for $200 last week. Just needed some minor work.

Dagn that sounds like it sucked. :ack: What sort of tests? Not a stress test, was it?

200 or 2000?

Nope, guess not. car-part.com shows 8.25s and 7.25s on early Daks. So at least the bolt pattern should be right if you get the right year.

Does that mean that the 8.25 was only later models with the 6bolt rim pattern?

It's reeeeal hard to pass up a $175 Jeep, let alone one that runs.
