yes, yes I have :D
takes lots of patience and a bit of luck, that's for sure. if I remember right, only 2 of those were acquired together.
big congrats to yellajeep! :banana: proof that they are indeed out there. :D

we all know that feeling :D I drove my truck around the block with no shocks and power going to only one front tire because, well, I could. :D
(and I will NEVER do that again! scariest. ride. ever.)
based on personal experience, 3.55 is better in every way. :thumbsup: acceleration, mpg, everything. a change of the speedometer gear is all you need if you want the speedo super accurate.
yeah, oil in the airfilter is EXTREMELY common on the Jeep engines and usually because of a clogged up or broken CCV line. in worse scenarios the late model valve cover can fix it. some of us have 4.0s that are beyond even that and I use a catch bottle inline to the air filter. the engine still works well enough to drive 3000 miles out to Moab and back with wheeling in UT, CO and IL along the way. blow by is certainly not a deal killer. :thumbsup:
as long as the donor has the same engine, it's a fairly straightforward swap. :thumbsup: there are some minor details here and there depending on which year XJ you buy, but any year can work. it doesn't have to be a 91.
welcome to the club! :waving: you wouldn't happen to have any photos from back in the day would ya? we're big suckers for historical things like that. :D
