same experience here with the 242 in my KJ. I just leave it in awd until I need 4low. :D

did the previous owner complain of this from day one of the swap or is it a new problem?

how well does it go into first? could be the clutch isn't fully disengaging.

do you have the anti-PB browser add-on that lets you see the PB pics?

that's an awesome piece of 80s nostalgia right there :D

sooooo many needles to find :(

yeah, the pic they used looks like a grenaded flywheel and I doubt too many 4.0s could get that much rpm. :) here's a peugeot rebuild kit for anyone that needs it:

I have no idea how it should be, but it looks like I see one vacuum line plugged and another port open.

chances are that you just need the existing carb adjusted. just gotta find a local shop that specializes. carbs are really hard to diagnose over the internet. :(

this is probably not the right advice (I don't know carbs), but many moons ago with my old 86 I adjusted the idle screw to bump up the rpms. :) (it's a little set screw that the throttle arm rests against at idle)

I've had errors each time I've tried to manually approve a new member. guessing there's a coloration to the emails. :(

I elongated the ubolt holes when I installed my 9".

the MJ bucket and MJ bench floor brackets are identical.

2dr and 4dr XJs share the same flat floor, so their floor brackets are very different than MJs. you'll need to mount the XJ sliders on the MJ floor brackets. pretty easy to do. but 2-dr XJ buckets do lean forward like MJ buckets (4dr do not), which makes them more desirable for us. :)

I'm betting it's one of the glitches. :(

great score!

it's like a step back in time :D (except with fuel injection!)

yeah, I regret not being able to keep mine when I sold my 86. :( plus I guess I don't really need a collection of axles. lol. my new favorite rear axle suggestion is the Liberty 8.25 as my '06 is a couple inches wider than an MJ stock axle (to better match the wide MJ bed) and can be had with factory disks. plus KJs are super plentiful in the junkyards.

If I was starting over, I'd swap in a non-MJ prop valve up front (XJ, WJ, etc) and then an adjustable one for the rear line. Seems that gives you the best chance at dialing it in juuuust right. :)
