car-part.com can help you find junkyard parts. 94ish+ AX-15s got the external slave bellhousing. the XJ will have 3.55 geared axles so that will be a bonus over the current 3.07. I would leave that wonderful patina alone.

yeah, some people apparently need to learn the hard way that suspension is not for extraction

what about replacing the stock X crossmember with a more traditional style (maybe both in front and behind) and then you can raise it up a few inches?

I assume these are used units? the youngest ones are 22 years old.

found a thread for ya

quite possible. but rarity alone (between 4 and 8 are thought to remain) doesn't mean giant value as one apparently came up for sale not long ago in much better shape for all of 9 grand obo. that's not nothing, but it's also not 100k.

that was one of my thoughts. it'd be a prime candidate for outside decor bits.

bite your tongue! though if it wasn't for the diesel engine I would never have acquired the Libby.

neat

there are kits out there to make any seat a heated seat. be sure to start a build thread to document the adventure.

just get a longbed and make a trailer out of it. best of both worlds

glad to hear everything seems ok. do make sure that everyone you know that got it gets their heart checked out later on.

honestly, if it were mine I'd go resto-mod and restore the body back to stock, but then swap in the engine of my choice. she's got a LOT of nice exterior and interior classic goodness going for it, but I kinda doubt that the value of a restored rust bucket is going to be higher because you kept the least desirable engine Jeep ever used. make it nice and make it yours.

I fixed a lot of weird issues with my 88's dash by running a 10 ga wire directly from the negative battery terminal to the dash metal. if you haven't yet, you should accomplish all of Cruiser's MJ tips. it's one of the first threads in teh link in my signature.

was at one of this weeks junkyards but I forgot to ask the yard owner about it on the way out.

note that rear side window. you can disguise the truck all you want and prevent the majority of people from ever looking twice, but car guys are car guys and we will spot the little differences.

the previous owner is restoring his truck and needed a bed that was less crunched and contained less bondo than this one. so I swooped it up and for better or for worse, now I have it. the wheel wells contain more newspaper, plastic bags and cardboard than a recycling plant. I wonder if I can find a guy that's looking to cut up his bed for a wheeler and wants to trade so he can do it guilt free.

does it die suddenly or does it struggle for a bit and then die?

welcome! found your post in the classifieds so I moved it over to Tech for ya. if you're new to MJs, this thread is a gold mine of great info. of key importance is the link to Cruiser's MJ tips. most deal with the wonky electrical system.

glad you found the issue. I'm going to move it all over to tech

generally it's a problem when they fold in half like that.

red mistress needs to chime in. he's got a... few. including this one:

the link in my signature has a ton of swapping info in it.

looks like the boat was a success!
