it's funny, but I DO like it, but it isn't the kind of thing I typically go for. Maybe I just need something different

yeah, I think I'm keeping it. Now I just have to find time to work on it

parts truck

the truck is not running at the moment, I'm still undecided on what I'm going to do with it. I just picked up a parts truck with around 8" of lift so if it gets the big lift, this bar might work pretty good. I am also considering welding the seams and painting it blck to look more like a real roll bar

opinions?

came from a Ranger, I think it looks pretty good, but am undecided on keeping it

good to know, he advertises a lot of Jeep stuff. Delta is on the PA/MD border a little west of the Susquehanna River

thanks everyone, this is a great forum

I did a quick search and saw the threads about using XJ buckets and Grand Cherokee buckets along with Dakota and Ranger seats. My question is this, are the bench seats really that horrible? I am still in the planning stages and while I don't mind a bench seat, the 2 that I have seem pretty flimsy. i'm 250 lbs and I can't see the springs in that bench lasting very long. On the other hand, my 88 XJ seats were a little on the narrow side and tended to squeeze my hips on longer trips. the seats in the 2000 XJ I have for parts seem much nicer but it's a 4dr and they won't tip forward. My other reason for leaning to the buckets is being able to have a console. Has anyone ever swapped to buckets and regretted it?

that's good to know, I think I'll stick with the Renix manifold

I was just going to post this but you beat me to it

is the manifold that much better?

thanks, looks like I made a good choice buying this thing

and it is a 231 T-case. i will be swapping that into the XJ trail rig

so, I can replace the CAD with the one piece shaft from this?

thanks, I will check it out, just brought it home last night and won't have time to look at anything until tomorrow

thanks, I'm pretty sure the transfercase is a 231, it has that funky output shaft with the rubber boot (slip yoke eliminator maybe?) is that any better to use? It looks like a weaker design to me. The wheels are 16s, I do like them, but I'm not sure if I'm going to keep them or sell

I just picked up a pos 2000 XJ, what parts are an upgrade for my 87 Comanche? I am planning on using the rear axle, maybe the front axle and swapping the doors. Are the booster and master cylinder worthwhile? what else? I'm not a fan of the newer front and this one needs some work, so I will be keeping the 87 sheetmetal.

Yellaheap, that looks like the one on that Jeep. I really don't have time to go back and pull it. If I did, I would probably take the whole thing off and try to fit it to mine
