wait a second, redwolf are you contemplating a complete drivetrain swap or just a conversion to 4wd?

AX-15 won't bolt up without lots of effort and cost. yes, a 2.8L rig can work too. 2.8L was only used in 84-86. 2.5L was used 84-2001. ANY year XJ with the 2.5L/AX5 can be a 4wd donor. do not limit yourself to the old stuff.

are you asking if you can put your rear axle in the front? 'cause the short answer is no. front axles for MJs/XJs is the Dana 30. the computers don't control any aspect of the 4wd system. it's all old-school lever action :D t-case shifter linkages RARELY comes with the t-case. the key part you need is the bracketry for the linkage, half of which bolts to the transmission (and is transmission-specific meaning that an AW4 or AX-15 bracket won't bolt to an AX-5) and the other half bolts to the underside of the cab. Buy a whole 2.5L/5speed XJ and make life easy on yourself. :thumbsup:

-front axle that matches your rear's gear ratio -4wd version of your trans -t-case that matches your tranmission's spline count -shifter linkage that matches your trans -front driveshaft -rear driveshaft (usually guys just get their 2wd one cut to size) that's it. :thumbsup: I recommend buying a cheap 2.5L donor XJ.

would that do the job of requiring a location in the titles of the classifieds?

that looks like it might weigh more than an MJ. :dunno:

that's what I'm hoping. that, or the wifey threatened him if he didn't put it up for sale. :D

this will take a bit longer than expected because cromanyak just had his first child (congrats!! :cheers: ) and we gotta wait til he can find some free time. :yes:

I don't think that's included in the software, :dunno: but only alexia would know for sure.

I've looked all over and didn't see any more evidence of a visitor. :dunno: guess he didn't like the taste of the wiring.

last night I discovered my backup lights were coming on with my brake lights. not good. so today I found this mess behind the pass taillight. mouse? I can't think of anything else that could have cause this kind of damage in a protected space. :dunno:

:rotf:

is it me or is the drivers/rear rim not quite securely attached to the tire...

that would be sweet for sure :D new photos:

might want to post that Q' in the tech forum so more will see it :thumbsup:

pretty sure we've beaten this topic to death. if anyone has new or useful things to add to the discussion, feel free. but if not, please stop.

welcome to the madness! :waving:

I thought you traded the v8 ZJ away?

apparently both. since the 5.9 wasn't available in a 93 ZJ... :D

:rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf:

pretty sure he meant 5.2 :D

Fixed it for ya. Rob :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf:

WANT! :bowdown: nice score. when are you opening up that MJ museum? :brows:

I think he's referring to the ripples you can see in this photo. that's a 3d texture in the glass designed to push the light out to the sides. and it's missing from that same brand's driving light. that's why I was thinking that the reflectors behind the lights might be identical. I think they did that to cheat a little and just use the glass to make it a fog light.
