I have my template that I made for the booster/Steering/Bulkhead connector, might be willing to pass it on after I am done with it The only other holes are for the HVAC box, and a couple pass thru grommets, all pretty generic hole saw solutions. As for the HVAC foam insulator , easiest to just use the foam off the older era HVAC box on the newer style HVAC box -
How close is the track bar/oil pan with full compression?

Depends on the level of skill I guess. I'm very comfortable cutting and welding and going for a factory like finish on the firewall, so cutting and welding is the route for me. In theory, it is totally possible and easier to cut and screw the new section on with self tappers if that's where the installers skills are limited

Much appreciated! Hope it helps others

Got sidetracked buying a boat for the summer... But managed to strip my parts XJ down to just a shell, and started cutting it up to get the MJ done. Working on rockers currently.

I am currently doing a 1997+ interior swap, and although there are already good write-ups on the topic, I thought I would drop my photos and reference dimensions of many applicable dims. I will try and label each one and describe anything worth noting. Each will be its own post in this thread for searching ease. Some photos uploaded upside-down, too lazy to fix, just keep that in mind when scratching your head LOL Some of the photos got downsized, But I have uploaded all full size photos in this shared public link Mods, feel free to pin!

It fit better than many other V8's do lol

Klipsch - Both Wireless Earbuds and ANC Headphones...can't go wrong!

Looking good! I had at one point planned and even swung in an AUDI V8 into my IFS MJ, but eventually went a different route. @Pete M This build seems more applicable in the Epic section, no?

Boosted time??

Walk-Around and current status of the build:
-
Cameron Hill - Hills Automotive in Apple Valley I think? He is an XJ Wagoneer & Comanche Restoration/modification guy, also an educated person with Chrysler electronics.

Yes, my crawler XJ is a 3 link and it does fine. But with this being geared towards handling moreso than the crawler is, I may change it once I drive it and assess how I like the handling. I am thinking if I don't like it, I can always make a "offset Y-link" utilizing the passenger side frame control arm mount, "y"ing to two spots on the axle as upper mounts. That's the idea if needed at least.
-
In the name of going fast, being stable, and looking good. Cut the driver side mount off entirely. This will hopefully enable lowering the truck a little bit, and help with clearance around driveshaft, and driver side exhaust clearance. Passenger side will be chopped and lowered as much as possible.

Teraflex D44 Disc Conversion Questions
Comanche SS replied to Bonkers's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
For the hassle involved, you should spend much less and get a tj or ZJ rear disc setup from the junkyard and install them. -
In for mockup, mostly needed it there so I could have the jack stands somewhere safer while I work on and under the jeep, but looking great! Will need to come back out to weld in the perches whenever I figure out pinion angle.
-
I got a place local to me that is open 7 days a week 10 mins from my house, for fair price, I was with airgas until I found this place LOL Thanks for the suggestion though!
-
Been busy with family and friends, but managed to get a couple hours in this morning. Rear XJ 8.25 cleaned, painted, new seals. Got the KJ disc brakes mocked up on there just for the visual satisfaction, but gotta pull it all apart again when I weld in the new perches, which I need fresh welding gas for.

Been slow the past week. Have friends in town, but I have been prepping the axles to go under the truck so that I can work on it in a less sketchy way. Ordered up all new bushings, links, components for steering, suspension, brakes, sway bars, etc. Should all be here in the coming days. Rear axle is stripped down and getting cleaned, prepped for new perches and new brakes. Front axle is getting cleaned and prepped for new upper control arm bracket removal/modification. Took an hour to update the list, looking like itll be over 5k at this point, hoping to be under 6k. But still not bad!
