most starters just suck to replace. my grandparents had a grand marquis with the 4.6 that required pulling the engine mount bolt and jacking up the engine so you could use 3 feet of extensions to get at it. or, as the shop ended up doing, you can torch off that one idiotic bolt and reinstall with just the 2 remaining bolts.

4.5" to match your current rear axle you'll need the right width, bolt pattern, and ratio. without using spacers to change the pattern or paying for regearing you're more or less limited to the: MJ/XJ 44 (rare and mostly 3.07, 3.55) TJ Rubicon 44 (rare and expensive and only came in 4.10 but had an e-locker) 97+ XJ 8.25 (3.07, 3.55, some 4.10) 03-07 KJ 8.25 (3.55, 3.73, 4.10 and disks) 96-01 Explorer 8.8 (3.55, 3.73, 4.10 and disks) did I miss anything? I prefer the 03-07 Liberty because it's a couple inches wider than the stock MJ axle (as opposed to the 8.8 which is narrower) and that works well with the MJ's wide butt (the bed is wider than an XJ body which is why the tires looked so tucked-in back there). you'll still need perches welded on and to shorten the driveshaft, but that's the case with any upgrade axle. dana 35s have a bit of a short snout.

you could always diagonal the pattern. but yeah, a solid color seems best

I like it are you going to recover the sunvisors too?

yup, definitely need some more build threads!

I'll go buy it. someone give me a giant pile of cash.

bits of touching metal should get either antiseize or locktite

it'll be a stunner for sure what's the story on the Willys? you need to do some build threads on your other rides too

there should be some 97 swap threads in the link in my sig. welcome to the addiction!

there's so much GM on our Jeeps I'm starting to think I might be able to use S-10 cab corners

is this page helpful? https://www.factorychryslerparts.com/cars/Jeep/1991/Cherokee-40L-I6-Power-Tech--4-Speed-Automatic-AW4/Air-Conditioning--Heat/Cherokee-40L-I6-Power-Tech--4-Speed-Automatic-AW4-parts.html

I guess it's also possible that the heater core has finally plugged itself up inside (especially on the bottom away from the in and out)

have you decided on a paint color?

mouse house inside clogging the airflow?

hooray! an extra big hooray for all the ex-Tigers players on the winning team!

31" Boggers! conquer all the terrains!

score!

glad your story had a happy (albiet weird) ending! did you take the opportunity to add extra grounds to everything?

pics?

yeah, it looks likely. so much for it being a series.

I think this one is a rendering, but daaaaamn...

they are pretty rare indeed. I doubt too many of the survivors are still used for work.

I don't know about that one in particular, but I do know that for my '00 Dakota, the headlight and marker light assemblies can come separate or combined in a single unit (factory was separate).
