There were 500 rigs at PAP on Saturday -->pics here<-- STROKERMJ

I used to run 32" tsl/sx's worked great offroad but were not meant for street drivin' STROKER MJ

IIRC some year XJ hatch struts, the little ball "thingy" unscrews from the strut. STROKER MJ

anyone notice the xj four dour line on the rear door, looks like they took a bed and mounted it. STROKER MJ

In my experiences a switch is a switch, but the ground is key, I would select a better ground than the bumper more towards the frame. You should use a relay for the lights, here is a WEB SITEthat should help you wire the lights with a relay. You're gonna use a standard relay, that you can pick up at any auto parts store. A quick run down however would be this On a standard relay you will have 4 or 5 post's to connect to, 85, 86, 87, 87A, 30, not all relays come with the 87A post. Posts 87 and 30 are the load side(lights, fan etc) of the relay Posts 85 and 86 are a low current side i.e. power coming from switch You will wire a 12 volt source to leg 87 then the hot side of the lights to 30. Then the 12 volts coming from the switch will goto 85 then ground post 86 of the relay. STROKER MJ

$800.00 for a crank....WOW. All you really need is the crank from and old 258 4.2 block, 4.0 or 4.2 rods a source for a cam and pistons and a good machine shop. Wouldn't advise going bigger than a 4.6, the cylinder walls won't handle the heat, therefore cutting your longevity of the motor. STROKERMJ

Alcan Springs with the SOA. STROKERMJ

I'm a rock krawler fan myself, I am running their LA kit and it's definatley beefy. But then again I am still running my RE bar, so take it as it is. STROKERMJ

"year" breaks in my experience don't mean sh!%, when it comes to the everyday parts store, even my parts guy has gotten me wrong bearings before, some manufacturers think they're all the same and produce them that way. I would return them and go thru the shelf and find the correct ones or just do a conversion and get rid of those things.... STROKERMJ

That's how my 4.6 came to life... STROKERMJ

Quick drain all fluids run it for about 15min and repeat. Did any H2O get in the intake, looks like it may have? I used to drive thru creeks in a local mud hole with my old XJ, flooded the motor with water drained it started it and the motor blew 3 days later sitting in traffic, all because I didn't change the oil....DOH.... STROKERMJ

you could also look at http://www.fastenal.com/web/products/detail.ex?sku=0122048 the bolts will be M14x120 or 125mm grade 10.9. HTH STROKERMJ

You can goto my website for more pics here's 1. I'm at 8" and 36's STROKERMJ

jc whitney also has the carpet molded and different colors thats what I put in. STROKERMJ

Hey Eagle how r ya. If you're talking about me then it was a little more than bruising. In fact I tore 80% of the ligaments in my left ankle and broke a bone in my wrist, put me out for awhile. STROKERMJ

Actually, he did know he's just glad I didn't hack it up and tube everything. STROKERMJ

Looks like an AW-4 to me. STROKERMJ

All that is left is to build a back bumper, mount the pass. seat and build tail light boxes. click me and goto the bottom STROKERMJ

Sweet, when I picked mine up from Eagle, it looked "almost" rust free, then when I pulled all the interior out, OH BOY, I ended up replacing the drivers side floor board. STROKERMJ

Looks good. I'll drive it if you don't want to... :P STROKERMJ

Thanks guys, as far as specs its essentially all the hard parts from the XJ. The MJ is an 87, 4.6 stroker motor, 8.25" of lift, 36" TSL Swampers, custom dash, cage, wiring and soon custom bumpers, york OBA. Alcan leafs, RockKrawler coils and LA's, rustys x-fer skid and steering box brace, custom steering box frame brace, oh and hydro assist steering. Thats it in a nut shell. STROKERMJ

Nice lookin rig. Good work. Aren't comanche's just bad @$$ looking when lifted STROKERMJ

Still under construction but I basically took 98% of the "hard parts" from my XJ and transfered them over to the MJ. here's what I started with STROKERMJ
