Seems like it'd be in the way. :hmm:

I think he's asking about the t-case skid plate.

I thought MJ axles were 60"? :hmm:

How hot do the wires get?

Yes, front XJ brackets would fit an MJ.

Please don't spend the money until you know what the popping and vibrations are from. You'll be spending a small fortune and it may not fix the issues. I have a spool in the back of my MJ and it pops and squeaks everywhere I go. Hubs wouldn't change that.

Wide track or narrow track?

What condition are the battery cables? It's possible to have juice enough to run the fan, but not enough to start the truck.

:needpics:

I would suggest finding out what is in your differentials before deciding on spending a huge chunk of change on hubs. My guess is that there is a locker in the rear. :thumbsup: Also, unless it is indeed an NP-242 t-case under there, I'd avoid using 4wd on pavement. :cheers:

I'm a bit of a Disney World freak. Once upon a time I was responsible for repairing lasers as big as a car. I use the Legacy control setup when playing Halo (curse you Golden Eye!). There was a time in my life where my short term memory was so bad that by the time I got to the 4th frame in a comic strip, I'd already forgotten the first. I developed an allergy to antifreeze at one of my prior jobs.

Does it pop when in 2wd? Or only in 4wd?

The front bumper is indeed chrome and in decent shape. The pass fender has a dent in it.

I've run 30s on a 2wd and 31s on a 4wd. It is possible to do sans lift with the right rims. The 31s are indeed tight, but I added the WJ control arms and all's well now. :D

I could talk smack all day long, but it's like being threatened by a 3rd grader. It's hard to take my FF team seriously. :yes:

I wouldn't assume it's not the exhaust until I crawled underneath and shook the exhaust pipe as hard as I could. It could simply have popped out of the mount.

The difference between a 195 tire and a 205 tire is less than the width of your finger. Kind of a moot point for the OP. :D

Sorry it's such a poor shot for your needs, but I only have a couple from back when the 88 was 2wd. Those are 30x9.5" tires on Jeep 15x7 rims.

The Wrangler parts will be in different locations than a comparable 00 XJ. It could be anywhere from a small headache, to a rip-your-hair-out headache to adapt it all. Pretty much everything in your truck is incompatible with a 4.0L.

"Stock" doesn't mean the base model's tires. Stock means the tires that came with your particular truck. MJ tires were anywhere from 195/75 to 225/75 and each truck should have come with the appropriate speedo gear to account for the tires size. And yes, those tires should fit alright (but they will be a bit small).

I don't see "new rear axle with 4.10 gears" anywhere in that list. :hmm: There's a cherokee at Taylor Auto that has the front chrome package. You might want to jump on that. Call me tomorrow if you can't.

4 cylinder engine or 6 cylinder engine?

That seems pretty close to violating rule #2. :no: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1239 :D

Are the U-joints in the front driveshaft in good shape? And about the axlegear ratios, what engine and transmission do you have?

Or you can raid the junkyard for the parts you need. Either way, the lower block should be usable for you. :thumbsup:
