umm wheres the tech thread on this upgrade? I fired up the new HO 4.0 in the MJ today. :banana:

well it took me this long to find this thread again. just need a tour day and just find out where everything is. and figure out the damn settings. Thanks Pete, and need some stickers wheres that thread?

Very nice man. love the clearence to height ratio. :thumbsup:

got her fireed up! Woot!

any of these threads have perhaps a couple of pics to help with the understanding of the tech for this desirable swap?

getting oh so close to getting it running again. :MJ 1:

Sliders use a 2" x 3" or 4". As far as bumper just take mou.ting measuremnts off your stock bumper and then go to town and be creative make one to suit you and your ride.

Plan to custom back mine as well for for so wheel base shortening. But love that first rig and would like something like that but all tubed.

Its a pdf download of electrical wiring for 88 mj. Posted from tech forum.

hold on see this post.... can get you a pic of whole setup tomorrow as just ripped mine all out. But stud has fusible links on it and etc. Check out link for 88 MJ electrical manual, then have a pic for you tomorrow and should get you strightened out. :yes: http://www.bteventures.com//mj1988electricalmanual.pdf

well ran into some issues with header and intake removal, so in light of it going to do some preventive maintenance and just have the head fluxed and machined. Cleaned up a little today and got some stuff out of the way. so to machine shop tomorrow and get back next week so now being as I have some time going to swap seat brackets and get seats in and cab buttoned up. DO remain seal and auto trans filter. and steering brace came in so install that as well. :( rig got some sunshine today. getting close oh so close! tcase back on and ready to drop in tomorrow. rugged ridge brace

thanks man. :cheers: Well, wiring in and column to gear box is in, engine pulled ready to clean up and replace leaky seals. then swap on replacement header.

Thanks man. :]

anyone have the link for the 6 injectors for like $75 out of FL I think? thanks

just going to do what I did last time and just swap the fuel rail, has new fuel pressure regulator on it as well so might as well. :)

I have the complete speedo cable on up to the back of cluster. $25 shipped to where ever. lmk

I have a bench seat in real good shape grey cloth. just the bench seat no floor mount brackets for $40

So I got the new content tab but did I lose all my history of posts with the upgrade? That was my main tool on this site and if I lost that I will not be happy with this upgrade. what was wrong with the last setup I liked that was simple and easy to use, theres to much going on on this new site with chat on top the page and all this settings I have to change just to elimanate the more of too much stuff going on content. Pete please don't buy into the fashion!

Got a good woman if she'll let you do jeep wiring in bed. :teehee: I think I understand wiring alot better now. Had help with harness from this link... XJ dash harness to rear MJ harness wiring So got the dash in and heater, So worked on the steering wheel as in 95 they use a better steering column so the mounting is different vs the later 89 MJ column. this was the 95 XJ mount notice smaller mounting bolts as well as it is an inch closer to the fire wall. So you can drill out all the spot welds and weld it back on you firewall easy enough, or just weld on new bracket on the column as the 95 XJ column has all the electronics by the wheel and wires run external of the column not internal like the 89 MJ. buddy making the welding look easy. :naughty: mounted and make it look good. got the carpet in and center console, little trim work left then seats. So then got the steering box frame section reinforced up a bit and have a steering box brace on its way and will be getting a JCR Offroad steering box inner spacer just cause I don't feel like making one of those up. So after getting that welded up the woman went to town and painted the engine bay with some rust stopper paint and I will go over everything again with some black paint. and this bottom part will be the start of a box skid like you see on a YJ/TJ. So tomorrow check list is degrease engine and trans and change remain seal and valvecover gasket, then need to replace the headed as it has been welded once and is majorly cracked again so need to just replace it for decent on to hold me over till I hit the lottery and get me a borla setup. ;) and then hopefully get the brackets switched out on the seat and get them installed. Then should have engine harness installed in engine bay as well.

thank you good sir was exactly what I was looking for. :cheers:

There is a thread on here some where that has the wiring diagram for when installing a HO XJ drivtrain and dash wiring in your MJ, it shows the wiring connection for the rear tail lights and fuel pump,

so how do I get to my subscribed threads?

what all you needing for 4x4 swap, just gutted mine. And I'm in MI. :)

cold, rainy and $4.15 around here. :ack:
