Oizarod115

what exactly is this "overkill" you speak of, ive never heard this term used for jeeps and axles... :brows: D70 would be nice, but definately watch out for those wheel patterns and id go with Dirty's suggestion and shave it up a bit.

from my experience when the sending unit goes bad oil goes everywhere, or it just doesnt work, both happened on my moms 95 XJ. with the not working coming before the explosion of oil. i would imagine its that connection you mentioned? good luck -nick

all that matters for insurance is what the VIN says, theyre not gonna crawl under it and look ;) (I'm 17 as well, and boy do i love the loww insurance on this thing)

Aint that weird!!! Of the four 89 XJ/MJ's I have owned all but one, (thats a AW4) have been AX15's!! I know of a couple more who are also AX15's . While my brother in law and couple friends w/88's ALL are BA10's. Books say 89 was the cross over year...guess it depends on part of the country tgey where sold in..... CW well aint that about a b*@$£, lol. just my luck huh?

welcome mandercheese! you plannin a 4wheel conversion for the beast? cause if so this is the place to look, i can think of at least 3 club members who have done or are doing it we need some pics man!

500 MJ: i wouldnt fear rippin down a t-case to do a SYE its a pretty easy install, me and my brother did an AA kit on a 231 not 2 weeks ago, VERY simple, only ran into 2 problems, one was not having snapring plyers, and 2 was the pinion nut must be removed and it was torqued to 300+ ft lbs from 17 years of use, so if you have snapring plyers and a shop thatll blast off that pinion nut for you i wouldnt fear. however a hackntap kit ive heard bad things about, cause of the weakness of the stock shaft. good luck-nick

pingpong, you got any extra information on that tranny? it doesnt matter to me whether i have overdrive or not, as it is i never use 5th even at 60+ cause it makes scary noise.

My 89 has the AX15 and was made in March of that year :chillin: this is me being jealous :mad: haha

quit your talkin and do it already!! haha, just kiddin man, hope the trip goes well.

id have to say ive seen alot more BA10s in 89s than AX15s a chance at another jeep thats got a rebuilt motor and 4x4 for 600!? GO FOR IT!

i have heard of it being done, so i guess its possible. wishi had a set to swap in my brothers XJ has those.

ooooh, might be a needed part along with a 97+front clip, my MJd be lookin sharp. luckily that part of the jeep doesnt get much offroad damage, tends to be the sides and bottom :brows:

junkyard tools... hacksaw, large persuader, breaker bar, deepsockets metric and SAE, normal sockets, extensions, and a whole lot of TIME. it usually takes a few hours even for the smallest things cause you just HAVE to poke around. the cardboard mat sounds like a goodass idea JB

Cabz did you say you have an internal slave AX15 BH for a 4liter? if noone else picks this up i mighttt, my ba10 is thinkin bout walkin out on the job.

mustve been a very careful wreck! can't even tell anymore... the unibody all right?

we just got a cheapy flip down style, and our popbox is a 110 like you said, it gets through 1/4in but i don't know if i could burn through that thick, its tough to get it to arc well if its not REALLY clean too, at this point we use flux core for lack of MIG gas

so how do you get good Structural MIG welds? (just bought a lincoln 1/4in MIG welder)

it depends on if your truck is an 89 MODEL or was BUILT in 89. cause alot of 89s wouldve been built in 88 correct? my 89 definately has the pukegoat.

my oem one has the metal in the return line, don't know about the metal insert. don't know what you're referin to, never looked at it that much.

yeap, BA10 3.07 gears

ax15s after 94 are external

beautiful story. hope you find your baby in one peice.

yea, his MJ is pretty much amazing. he surfs NAXJA all the time, but lately hes been poppin in on us. fountain of knowledge the guy is. and personal experience with that knowledge to boot. front leafs seem to be where I'm headed.

can't be the NSS if the engine will crank, but you can check if its not workin right the reverse lights won't come on good luck

damn, glad to see this writeup progressing ive been waiting for the actual fron leaf spring part of the project to come along. (those are damn nice welds.)
