That's it ? Chump change

Well It's officially 4x4!! I finally found a couple driveshafts after somebody sold me the wrong ones claiming that they were for 2000.... which they weren't. I took the front axle from the Cherokee I got the driveshafts from and installed that too , along with some new shock all the way around.It's great that they use the same brakes on 2wd vs 4wd so they didn't need replaced .I took it on its maiden voyage and everything went as planned. It's nice to get one project done, or at least a big part of one. I'm not sure what's next for this, but I have other bigger projects to worry about first.

One of the harder nos pieces to find for sure .

Ok , I have PayPal if you do . My information is on this thread .

There's a whole bunch of WJs in my local yard, got to see what shape and if they're white though .

$30 shipped in the United States They only come in black, you can paint them to match.

Pm sent

Not at all , is it worth something to you ?

Transmission and tcase are in , 4wd shifter /linkage installed as well . Still need to install front axle and locate driveshafts . All the yards around me bend the driveshafts when picking them up with the loader ... aggravating!!

I'm going to say no, unless somebody has a part number otherwise. Only know of two part numbers, the 55014472 and the earlier 86-87 emblem . I know some guys were remaking emblems, and that may be a nice example of it.I know some guys were remaking emblems, and that may be a nice example of one.

This is my fifth or sixth time changing leaf springs on an XJ . No videos for me , just getting it done

Valve cover gasket installed last night . New springs , shocks , sway bar bushings installed today . Easiest leaf spring replacement I've done on an XJ yet , bolts came out with no persuasion. I did have to put new bolts in the upper shock mounts though .

O'Reillys had them in stock, just had to store transfer them. They were the dorman ones 929-301 . Summit racing is about 40 minutes away from me, they had a Mopar replacement spring for $147

It was perfect timing , I was looking elsewhere for parts to convert to 4wd until this happened.

I'm gonna wait till I'm done with it and make a decision.

The local pullapart had a wheelbarrow special so I got a transmission/ tcase/shifter /linkage for $80 . I have a front axle but still need to locate both driveshafts.

Ordered some rear springs, planning on installing them tomorrow. Also noticed the valve cover leaking , probably because the steel sleeves are missing . While I was looking around I happened to notice an American flag decal and a heat tab on one of the freezeplugs , it's a Jasper engine!! It's definitely clean inside and explains why everything is in good shape.

I wouldn't want that rollpin to come out,I know that CrossPin can do some serious damage.I know it wasn't the greatest set up but I'd rather have a bolt that I can unbolt if need be.

Factory MJ rear 44

So the bolt head broke on my Dana 44 for the cross pin . i'm changing axle seals I need to get it out, seeing what everyone else has done. I know it's a common problem but never encountered it personally. Some people say they hit the pen really hard and it will shear the bolt ,other people say buy a kit that has a special drillbit and bolts to remove it. Seeing whatever one else is done before hand. Thanks for your help

I'm guessing it has to do with the update, or maybe it's something that I did or didn't do. I have access to pretty much everything else except for that.

Anyone that has a 97-99 Cherokee can get you the same plug at the junkyard if one is local , here's a picture showing they are identical

I've sold a couple sets of 2dr manual door panels /regulators in the past couple years , my friends work at yards and give me heads up before they are put in the system . I agree with the low class people, can't tell you how many times I go to get parts that were perfectly good and somebody ruined. It would've taken a couple minutes to do it correctly, and if it was the part that they needed that got ruined they would feel the same way (maybe) .
