then I'm guessing the Veyron SS would work for you? :brows: don't know 0-75, but 0-60 is 2.4sec. even has AWD for those snowy days. :yes:

my MJ had 30s/3.07s and would try to stall if you weren't paying attention. :dunno: as with everything in the jeep world, user experiences may differ. :D

completely different in arch and length etc. Yours are likely stock 4wd packs with an AAL stuck in there, so stock MJ packs should be able to help out. :thumbsup: There are replacement full leaf packs for a 3" lift out there in the aftermarket (HellCreek, MO, etc.). I'm guessing if one broke, the others aren't far behind.

4.10s all the way. :yes: car-part.com might be of help in finding a matching dana 30. :thumbsup:

you can certainly instal them. I'm just saying that there might be a reason why the factory re-enforced them. or it might not matter. :dunno: hopefully someone out there has done what you're contemplating and can chime in.

the trucks with factory mirrors like that came with braces inside the door.

x2 :yes:

well, you'll need to make sure you're accepting cookies from the site.

I haven't :dunno: a clue how to check cookies on a tablet or phone.

have you jacked up each corner and checked for slop in the balljoints?

Bell's Oberon is my favorite. :cheers: too bad it's a seasonal beer. :( the good news is that season has arrived. :D also available in single-serving manly sizes. :yes:

sa-weet! :drool:

ownership is not a requirement for membership. :thumbsup:

sounds less and less like a 2 grand truck and more like a 1 grand truck. I'd change my offer.

x2. bring a fridge magnet with you and check the rockers and above the rear flares. try to pull up the carpet somewhere and look for moisture or rust. crawl underneath and look at the paint and the floorboards.

need more details. with these old trucks, mileage doesn't matter anywhere near as much as how well it was treated during those miles. :thumbsup:

sweeeeet... :D

if possible, I would scour the junkyards for an 84-86 or 94+ AX4/5 which will have the external slave (and possibly even good parts :D ) and snag up the bellhousing and related parts.

yup, completely different wiring routing and gauge resistances. :thumbsup:

a wrangler one could also be made to work, but not directly. you'll still need XJ/MJ t-case linkages and an XJ/MJ AX-4/5 shifter handle. plus the wrangler trannys seem to all rotate the t-case up slightly. this can be a good thing cause it provides a bit better ground clearance, or a problem if the t-case hits the floor (which can be solved with a big hammer). car-part.com can help in junkyard searches.

been there, done that. :D I was just driving to work and BAM! it really is an awful noise.

I'm a big fan of a low COG and less stress on the axles, so 4.5/33s for me.

you could have them anyway you wanted. 2wd or 4wd both came with 4spds or 5 spds. the 5spd will have better gearing in the axles.

that should have 3,55 gears. and is way overpriced for a donor. you don't need a comanche. XJs work great too. the only thing is the rear axle will need perches and your current rear driveshaft will need to be shortened.

the trannys swap directly. :thumbsup: if you have a 4spd manual now, you'll want to find at least 4.10 gears axles. (you've likely got 3.55s now) finding a 2.5l/5spd donor is usually the cheapest route.
