The 6-speeds have only been around a couple years now, so yes.

Do your research and then make your decision. There's plenty of info out there. It's not like I had a Bronco drivetrain sitting at my house and one day I decided to throw it under my 88 somehow. I did a ton of research into it first. Good links (no pun intended): http://www.pirate4x4.com/articles/tech/billavista/Links http://www.4wheeloffroad.com/techarticl ... index.html http://www.tellico4x4.com/index.php/cPath/2297 http://www.jeeps-offroad.com/misc-jeep- ... ators.html http://www.avalancheengineering.com/suspension.htm

Yeah, I guess it's kinda hard to shove a magnet threw the phone line. :roll:

After the Peugeot blew up my 88 sat for 2 years without moving an inch. A couple months after it was finally moved into the garage to start the buildup, a total stranger I was talking to in a store (talking about Jeeps of course) when he found out that I was building a red MJ, he proceeded to ask if I lived next to Riverview High school and that he was worried about what happened to that truck since it suddenly disappeared. Lord only knows how many kids from that school noticed a sudden change in the landscape but couldn't quite put there finger on it. :D

No such problem here. I can't yet justify the expense of a winch. :( But I built my bumpers specifically to allow me to pull forwards or backwards. Almost every time I or those with me have been stuck, backwards has been the best (or only) alternative for extraction.

I've found that a bar of soap works better/longer than belt dressing for silencing the squeak in my van. Do make sure that the belt isn't too loose or too tight.

You can't build a Ba-10 any stronger. The case itself is weak. If you're looking for a lower first gear, I think the newer 3500 and 3550 may be what you're looking for. First gear for the AX-15 is 3.83 and I believe the 2550 had a 4.04 or something like that. The NSG 370 six-speed has a 4.46. :D

Can you snap a pic? Jeep on! --Pete

Can you swap the old CPS in to see if it works? There's always the chance it's a bad new part.

Doesn't look that bad to me, considering it was a fire. Nothing a run to the pull-your-part junkyard couldn't replace. Then top if off with the 97+ frontend and you're good to go. :D

I cut out the bad stuff, painted the edge, covered the gap with aluminum, then painted it red. Simple and easy. :D

Doesn't matter. The ratios are what they are. Sweet truck though. I've got an 86 metric tonne. :D

Axle ratios for your year are easy. 4.0L/auto = 3.55 4.0L/stick = 3.07 2.5L = 4.10

The STS are an all-terrain and excel in those areas where all-terrains excel; namely sand, snow, pavement, etc. Stay away from the mud and the sidewalls don't have much protection from rocks. I have a set of baby 29 inchers on my 86 that use to be on my sister's TJ.

If I remember this right, when a clutch pedal does that (pushing slowly does little, mashing or pumping makes it work normal) it seems to be a bad master.

Cooling is always a concern with anything bigger than the 4.0L. If it was going into my rig I'd get an engine with aluminum heads (or even an aluminum block if I could afford it) to keep the weight down and it MUST have fuel injection. Carbs just ain't my thing. But then my plans are for a stroker 4.0. Bolts in and makes good power. :D

Undoing those bolts would still have opened the hood.

Don't remember. Where ever the instructions said to. :dunno:

Short answer: no. But if you want 5 more gallons, it's easy to strap on a military jerry can. :D

The fan is old, the wiring is old. Current draw goes up as age and corrosion sets in. The one in my 88 used to dim the lights a bit when you turn on the blower. Blower doesn't work any more though, so problem solved. :D

Maybe there's an add-on out there somewhere I can, um, add on to the site. :dunno:

I was recently informed that I'll be in Georgia for Christmas this year. :dunno: 95-96 boosters are the ones you want. For booster tips, see this link: http://www.madxj.com/MADXJ/technical/technicalfiles/ARbrakeBoosterUpgrade/BrakeBoosterUpgrade.htm I found it hard to find pre-made brake lines in the store to match the new parts, so I bought bulk line from Advanced Auto and borrowed a double-flare tool and used all the fittings that came with the junkyard parts. Now's a great time to redo all the lines in your truck. Be repared to break stuff and replace more than you originally intended. I snapped off a bleeder nipple in my rear axle and suddenly had to take apart the guts of the drum to replace the cylinder inside. :( Overall it went fairly smoothly but took quite a while for me to do it all since there's so much involved in replacing just about everything associated with the braking system. But I should have a truck that stops better than new when I'm done. :D Oh, and if I didn't mention it earlier, I got a mid 90s Dakota rubber line for the rear.

"Except" I love those brackets! Very creative! :D
