Could it have been a manufacturing problem rather than an XJ/MJ difference?

What about swapping in a better master? http://madxj.com/MADXJ/technical/techni ... pgrade.htm

Check the fuse and it could also be a bad trans computer.

Good for you! Now go to mozilla.com and get firefox. :D Be sure to download the "ad blocker" and "spellchecker" add-ons.

I seem to remember they are essentially identical on the outside. Can't be certain though since I've never actually touch either one before. :dunno:

I usually right-click on the image and select "copy link location". Then come here and paste. Then highlight the link and click on the IMG button.

The floor looks like my 90's. :eek:

So am I! :D (for 2 more days at least :( )

I'm talking about the axles, not the leafs. I don't know much of anything about what leafs work best for a front setup.

Feels like I'm shifting a big rig. :D It's not for everyone.

Technically, he asked if an AX-15 will replace a Peugeot (ba-10/5) and the answer is yes, sorta. The T-case from the Peugeot will be 21 spline and the AX-15 will be 23 spline so you'll need a matching t-case too. Run a quick search for the swap and it should come up with plenty of other little details I'm forgetting.

try car-part.com

And you'll probably want to reuse the transmission shifter from your truck. I know the TJ one is waaay different so I assume the YJ one would be too.

I have a love/hate relationship with my front mini-spool (78 ford axle) and have finally decided that it will be coming out. I'm sick and tired of not being able to turn the steering wheel, or even if I can turn the wheel, not being able to turn the truck. It's hard enough following TJs on the tight trail without having to muscle through 3 or 5 point turns every 2 minutes. Traction is INCREDIBLE though and someday I hope to have the funds available for a selectible locker. In the meantime, I got a good deal on a lockright and it will be taking the minispool's place come springtime. At least that way I can shift into 2wd and the front will unlock for turns.

Long arms or drop brackets will both work. Look up the rubiconexpress.com SOA lift for the MJ and you'll see a list of what's needed to do 6" properly. http://www.rubiconexpress.com/Products. ... 3F2E865797 You can sorta see the upper mounts here: I can't find any pics of a stock leaf pack, but it consists of 4 total leafs(unless you happen to have a Metric Ton, which has 5 total), one fat one at the bottom and 3 more above it, the ends of which should be evenly spaced from each other (if that makes any sense). Here's my 88 after the SOA, but before the 33s:

Is there such thing as "too long"? :dunno: The Dakota line I'm running is way long. Try searching the archives for it and see if someone listed a size when they suggested it.

I'd get some used 15x8 steelies and a used set of wide-ish car tires for them. Something about 9 inches across would be nice. :D Then I'd put some effort into hooking up a rear anti-sway bar and put out the cash for some quality shocks. Then it's just a matter of making sure the rest of the truck is good-to-go and then I'd get out and have some fun.

I read somewhere that, if you do find a way to kill it (anything can be broken with enough neglect of abuse), it's better to just swap in a junkyard AW-4 than to try rebuilding the old one. Not sure why though. :hmm:

Yeah, we should probably resurrect the MJ of the month this spring. Although the first month may not be fair seeing as you're now famous and all. :D

Eagle is the mod at the moment, but I meant Mods in the general sense that only administration can do it. By the way, I want a refund for the first half of my week. I drove a long long way to still wake up to frozen water on the ground (although it did melt before the sun came up). :D I have internet access now, so I'll be around more often.

It's pretty easy to burn on leaf perches (and that way you could get them in exactly the right spot). I'm just saying, don't limit yourself to this one particular axle just because it already has leafs on it unless it is eactly what you're looking for. If I was to do it, I'd go with 3/4 ton (or pre-78 1/2 ton) Ford stuff for the high-pinion front, but there are other options out there as well.

I cleaned up the thread to include only the legal and sane advise so other members reading it later on can know that there are legal ways of fixing a no-title problem. :D

Next stop: Florida sunshine! :jump:

I've heard that the 97+ Cherokee stripping is a good upgrade.

Unfortunately, it seems that I can't give Mods the power to approve new members. :oops: But I imagine they'll only have to wait a day or two before I can get them in. I'll be out of town, but I'm not totally disappearing for 10 whole days. :D
