the blue one is just a plain ol' awesome regular cab MJ. it's bee stretched in all sorts of manners with the powers of photoshop.

any change? I'll send a note to kryptronic. maybe he can figure it out.

I'm sure that's getting a TON of funny captions

.

pulled the carpet of the new truck back out of the pile it was under only to discover that the sun had faded it pretty bad around the trans tunnel. I didn't notice that when I first yanked the carpet out.

yes. all of the awesome right there.

well, this is seriously weird. I see you can reply in Tech, but not "other projects" and I checked and there's no minimum count for that forum.

are you signed in?

you might want to specify 6ft or 7ft

Cruiser54 has a great writeup for this. see the link in my signature. "Cruiser's tip" should be one of the first things you see.

you should probably get that Tstat in there one of these days.

that bites. but at least you caught it.

you should do a build thread for that awesome truck!

car-part.com purely searches by part number. even among XJs it won't bring you every year.

we've got a huge thread somewhere, but this website should sum it up quite well. https://www.imcdb.org/

if you're comfortable doing wiring, and you have the schematics for both rigs, then it seems very plausible that you can do this. the reason why you're seeing suggestions to go with XJ stuff is that, with a donor rig, it all more or less bolts in because the MJ and XJ share bady parts. with the YJ engine stuff, you might find that the wires aren't long enough to reach a spot where you can mount the pcm, or the vacuum lines need to be all custom, or a plethora of other things that are dependent on each particular items position in space inside the YJ bay vs the MJ bay. It could be a HUGE hassle. or it might not. I can't say because I've never seen it done. But that just means you're blazing new trails! There's no reason why it can't work, just reasons why it might be a headache now and again.

how solid is that XJ? how much work to get it working again? those things are pretty dang rare and I'd wager you can make a tidy profit if it's easy to get running again.

think of it this way, an MJ saved Tom (kinda), who saved the world (kinda), so an MJ saved the world!

you should put your truck's info into your signature.

-pick a random facebook automotive group -find a comment from someone that just installed new LEDs headlights or some such thing -wait for guys to come out of the woodwork that seem to take pride in how many people flash them everyday thinking they have the brights on -then ask why they don't bring a flashlight to stores so they can blind people in there too -keep asking until they answer that question it's fun. the childishness of the responses is just breathtaking.
