grab everything associated with the trans and inside the bellhousing: including the trans crossmember, shifter, bellhousing guts, and even the t-case (different input spline count). unless it's been altered from stock, the rear is a worthless 3.07 ratio.

my 88 back when she was 2wd running 30x9.5s on stock rims. no rubbing whatsoever. :thumbsup:

don't you DARE cut up that Comanche bedliner. :no:

no, I mean, why did you? the timing is set by the computer.

be prepared to fight with cooling that beast. :(

clocked the distributor?

It'll work great for you. :thumbsup:

yes. any Jeep AX-15 bellhousing will work. I've got a TJ one in my 88. crank sensor is in the same spot and you must re-use the CPS from your 88. and I'd start looking for a new mechanic. or better yet, I now do that work myself. :D

a tip for busting everything free once you get those 3 bolts out, use the power steering to your advantage. :D

ooooohhhhhh... interesting... :hmm:

I used a grinder with a cutoff blade and replaced them with grade 8 cap head screws (the ones that take an allen wrench)

maybe I'll drive her to Rob's for the next get-together. :D

Thanks guys! :D and an extra big thanks to the guys who came to my house and got her running again. :cheers: Ben, you should try driving her now. :yes: the shocks were on their softest setting before. and I should probably add in a photo of the current paint job, though I don't yet have a shot of her wearing anything but the storage-only 31s.

did those 2 rust-free comanches I bought from you get shipped out before the crash?

before you get too obsessed with de-cluttering your engine bay, you might want to learn what each thing does. some are more important than others. :thumbsup:

I adapted my steel line to the plastic line using a 1/4"-to-5/16" plumbing adapter. they are never to be used on brake lines, but clutch lines run on way less pressure (no booster). been running it like that since 03. :thumbsup:

you can't. :D they have to have a little fluffy guy/gal or their own.

south east corner of Michigan :waving:

same here. Carly wouldn't take people food if you offered it to her. Perri was that way too. goooooood doggies. :D

also, be prepared for the possibility that the bolt has rust-fused itself to the steel bushing in the rubber bushing.

I wouldn't even try to reuse them. they are the same bolt as the lower control arm bolts on the front. I've found those to be in better shape at the junkyard than the ones in the leaf springs.

how are your wheel bearings?

junkyard axles with better gear ratio are by far the cheapest and easiest bang for your buck if you want better acceleration (especially if you have the 3.07s). instant seat of your pants difference.

I told you you'd like it. :D a HUGE thanks to all that showed up to hang out for the weekend and whip my trucks into shape. :cheers:

...you drive hundreds of miles to work on someone else's MJ. :yes:
