ahhh, that makes sense.

I went through and cleaned up the common reused codes for ya. can you share a pic of the leafs? 4+1 and 3+2 were the metric ton varieties. 3+1 is the normal leaf pack. you build date indicates you have the AX-15. 3-9-89 was the last of the peugeots.

there's a free way to bypass the CAD in the link in my signature

for an old used key that looks like this one. not sure how old it is. mid 90s? but I'm REALLY not sure why Briggs+Stratton is on the backside... any remember what the connection was?

looks like a good truck added to registry

LS swapped

well... it's certainly shiny. how about a new seatcover and clean that interior up a bit before you ask that kind of cash? added to registry

if an axle was bent, it'd likely make a lot of noise as that would ruin the bearings pretty quick. if the axle shaft was bent, there should be vibrations from the tire wobbling. getting an alignment after you install the new control arms should answer most of your concerns.

yes, that is the WJ arm. don't forget to trim the steel bushing flush with the rubber bushing before installing. the bigger bushing goes towards the rear. are you planning a 4wd swap? if not, the peugeot should be fine for you as long as you don't abuse it and keep the fluid level up.

do you have a blockoff plate where the radio should be? do you have an antenna? do you have grilles in the doors behind which a speaker could be hiding?

best bet is skimming though the Epic Tech subforum. lots of chevy swaps in there, but each has varying degrees of detail. https://comancheclub.com/forum/41-mj-hardcore-tech-epic-journeys-to-greatness/

this is a smart move. grab what you can find and make it work.

let the tinkering begin!

is that weird perforated leather stuff still available? it's gotta be right if you're doing a resto.

squish some tweeter pods in the corners of the dash. no holes to cut.

I run an 8" Solo Baric sub that's old enough to drink. rated for like a billion watts and is all I've ever wanted in a subwoofer. give me epic bass, but without sacrificing all my storage. It's in the Liberty now, but started life in the MJ back in like 98? it's old for sure. I'm feeding it several hundred watts right now. the amp is a cheap mono amp so I doubt it's spitting out the 1000+ that it claims. meh. still works great. buy quality, feed it all the power it can take, and you don't need dual 12s eating all your valuable storage space. or, if you're just looking for a bit of oomph to the songs without sharing with the rest of the neighborhood, any ol' 8" woofer in a small box will make you smile. you don't need to spend a ton because the cab is ridiculously small. you'll feel it for sure. just don't buy any speaker made of paper. not even sure if that still is a thing in the aftermarket, but just in case.

love that old bedliner

I had 6x9s in individual boxes (in lieu of 4x6s in the b-pillar) back there and eventually removed them because they added nothing to my system (door component speakers + subwoofer, all fed lots of power). I just don't see what little speakers are going to do when 6x9s fed tons of watts turned out to be completely redundant. ymmv I'm not saying don't put 4x6s in there, I'm saying don't go crazy trying to finagle anything else back there if you have a subwoofer. you won't hear them.

my bad. upon closer examination it clearly says "made in korea" on the back. good catch!

holy crap! I don't even have a use for them and yet half the price of a used pair makes me suddenly want them! nice find!

edit: deleted link since it's made in korea
