I can't tell you how many times my meter has gone "beeeep" and I'm like, "what the heck was that"?

225 or 255? the 4spd is likely the problem here. not the trans itself, but the fact that a 4spd manual truck came with wimpy 3.55 gears instead of the 4.10s that a 2.5L/5spd would get.

what aspect of the leafs is bad? rust? sag? broken leafs?

can you snap a photo of what you're seeing? because normally the transmission mount bolts to the transmission. sometimes via a weird plate, but still to the transmission. the t-case hangs off the back of the transmission. are you trying to use a YJ transmission mount plate?

the AX-15 crossmember has a drop in the center and I believe mounts to a different location on the frame. nothing mounts to the transfercase but the driveshafts.

any multimeter is better than no multimeter, but I do recommend a self-ranging version. plus the more you spend, the more toys it has for you to play with.

junkyard?

do you have an AX-15 crossmember? and which holes/studs did you use to mount it?

is it possible to simply drill some holes where you need them?

it's only a single example, but I looked up MCA (supposed to be front bumper guards but is always wrong) and on that site it does show as bumper guards.

I feel less special if the link has been in your sig for a while now.

does that mean I'm special now? I've discovered a secret of the Chrysler!

I didn't find it in a search. a cherokee owner on the FB shared it.

does this help us out at all? http://starparts.chrysler.com/starlibrary/reference_docs/salescode.pdf

oh good. I had to ask since I've seen guys use "hi temp paint" that's not rated for anywhere near enough and makes for a most unpleasant first drive.

I just noticed you have nothing in your signature

for the headlights? it's a simple harness that plugs in and uses a relay to power the lights. this means more voltage gets to the lights (brighter!), and less wattage is coursing through the poor old headlight switch (meaning less chance of a fire).

the rims might be, but what is the tire size? 225/70/r16? manual trans? 4spd or 5spd?

the off-brand manufacturers have seriously stepped up their game with spacers. failures are quite rare. As long as it says that they are hub-centric, you should be fine.

if everything goes smoothly all you need is a socket or wrench. but it's been baked into the exhaust for decades now so be prepared for a bit of a fight.

making progress! you painted your exhaust manifold? how high of a temperature is that paint good for? how hot does your header get?

with a drill and some epoxy, most anything can work.

there's at least one writeup on using a 90s Dakota split bench in the link in my signature
