aw, snap. apparently I just bumped up to a new age bracket. I was like 22 when I found the old MJ Yahoo group.

good choice! if I didn't know any better, I wouldn't think it's the same truck. it's come a looooong way.

if it had a bar from the factory, it would have the extra rollbar mounts found between the frame and the bed. a lot of info was lost before chrysler got it into the computers (something about a basement flood), so your full build sheet is actually much longer.

I've got no idea if those are hard to find or not. I'm more interested in clean steel because I understand rust and what it does to Jeeps.

I'm a fan of rust free items that I can take north with me and clean 2dr stuff is about as hard to get as MJ stuff

when you're done with it, I'll swing by and slice off those useless rockers for you. maybe those doors too...

spacious!

if you're really ambitious, the fuel injection from a Camaro 3.4L is possible but it means stripping the block down to the block and heads, and honestly I would go the step further and trashing the entire block for a 3.4L block too. links to that swap are in the link in my signature.

anything 92 is rare. anything Eliminator is rare. anything beyond that is just icing on the cake I'm glad to see this one in the hands of someone who will give her some TLC. be sure to get her in the registry so we can see her birthday.

that means you'll need an early 242 if you want to mate to the Peugeot. 87-90ish XJ. car-part.com might be able to find you one.

this stuff? and what was the temp for the oven? for the life of me I can't find that thread.

AWD is the best thing ever (although all types of AWD are not created equal). My Liberty has the 242 and has been in AWD since '07. well, except for a handful of lo-range escapades.

does it make an audible click each time? and do you have 12volts at the headlight sockets when the headlight switch is pulled out, but the hi beams are off?

have you tried pushing directly on the switch with your finger?

start that build thread and share the adventure also don't throw out the running boards. someone somewhere is really going to want them.

I am clinically forgetful. but it is in fact moved now.

if you can't find anything else, I'm eventually coming up the east coast with beds, and if it works out, I can bring along the bench I just picked up. has no seat covers, but does have the headrests.

yup, those are priceless. perchance did you watch the latest installment of Business Blaze? I just can't stop smiling at the thought of trying to rebuild an engine while it's running.

part of a review for some random super-coffee on Amazon:

yesssssss......

4.56s. if I had a 2.5 and was paying for new gears, I might even jump to 4.88s. but both are better than stock gears pushing bigger tires. things you can do yourself: -buy axle -trim off all the old bracketry -buy new perches and u bolts things better left to the pros: -setting up the gears -welding on the perches more things you can do yourself after they are done: -install new axle

love it when you get them in person, be sure to snap a closer photo. I can't read the tiny print.

the other options are an XJ 8.25 and a Liberty 8.25. what gear ratio are you looking to run?

yeah, I would find an XJ for parts. if you only want to keep the (currently) 2wd one, you'll make much more money selling the 4wd one than it takes to buy a 4wd XJ. plus then you can get a newer XJ with better parts than the 80s offered.

progress!!
