Got my zr2 springs from a 2002 crew cab I believe. Used Comanche main, cut the mounts off the zr2 main, pulled the leaf spacers and used all the zr2 pack with the Comanche overload. Really got about 3.5" staying spring under.

The upper radiator hose and heater valve blew out in the Comanche while my brother was towing his xj home. So I got to swap in my open system I had laying around. Moved the coil and relays for the overflow to fit in the stock location over the spring mount. Now I've got all new hoses, pump, heater valve and thermostat. Meant to do it before it blew out but it's on now.

That's more than enough for a decent lift. I'm running 3" pro comp front coils, older teraflex adjustable arms, skyjacker m95 shocks and a MJ/S10 ZR2 bastard pack rear leaf. Take is like factory and more than enough room for my 31"

I like the outside the box engine swap idea. I've been working on a Honda engine swap into my wrangler. Hoping to start pulling my motor next month.

That's a deal. The full doors are worth nearly that. I've got a 95 with 2.5 and it only needs more gear with larger tires. You'll love the short wheelbase.

Def a good idea to just replace bad sounding bearings no matter what they are in. I rebuild Honda manual transmissions all the time and that's how I determine what I'm going to replace. Clean them and roll them to check for smooth rotation. I'm also planning to use a 242 when I convert my Comanche. I like the idea of full time option in a road driven truck that will just be light duty offroad.

WJ front brake/steering setup works great. I just put it on my YJ and love it. I'm planning to put it on my MJ when I convert to 4x4. Rear disc isn't easy. All have to be modified. I'm going to work on WJ and ZJ rear brakes after i convert the front and decide which one I'm going to make work.

My brother is parting out his 87 2wd sport truck of anybody needs anything. Has no title so it's parts only. http://bham.craigslist.org/pts/5685815840.html

It'll be a while before I get them finished and installed. Right now it's just mainly maintenance. Added the Detroit d35 lunchbox into the d30 carrier since I have the 2 piece axle still. It'll work til the others are built up. Plus I've got a motor swap planned in the future. Just waiting til after new years to start.

I would have looked for d44 but I got a real good deal on the 30 spline setup and already had the disc brakes waiting to go on it. So I decided to see how it goes. The truss and axles should help keep it together. My plan now is to find a stock MJ d44 with 3.55 and trac-loc for the and build my current 3.07 up for the YJ.

It's a 2.5,ax5,np231. 4.0 throttle body, 4.10 d35 trac-loc,d30 right now. Rigid ridge mega short sye kit, cheap no name smitty style high clearance bumper with extra 1/4" reinforcement plate under the winch area, 9k lbs badlands winch with wireless remote, 6" HID lights, 3" suspension, 1" body lift, 1" lift engine mounts, 1" skid plate drop 33x12.50x15 bias swamper TSL on some aftermarket 5x139 ford wheels with 1.5" adapters. Mastercraft suspension seats in front. It drives great but needs gears and lockers terribly bad. I'm building a non c-clip super 35 for the rear. Detroit 30 spline locker, alloy USA 30 non spline chromoly axles, 4.8u8 gears, TnT customs truss, currie leaf skid plates, ZJ rear disc. The d30 with be near the same, Detroit soft locker, 4.88, 297x joints, WJ brakes, ruff stuff 1-ton offset tie rod bar.

It's been sitting because I bought the MJ since it was drivable and the yj needed the front end freshened up. Finally decided to tear it down for new seals, u joints,ball joints, unit bearings, 1 ton steering and a WJ brake swap.

Got my A/C finally working today. Pulled and cleaned all the parts, replaced the expansion valve,new oil, and put on a compressor, lines and bracket from my 91 Briarwood xj. Good clean r134 system running cold now.

I have a 94 4.0 ho with a lunati cam and external slave 4wd ax15 Trans, new clutch, 242 with sye kit I'm going to install. But I don't have the money for a rear drive shaft and master slave parts right now since I'm working on getting the a/c going first right now. I'll probably change the slave out til I'm ready. Pedal changes every time temperature changes. Weirdest thing I've dealt with on a clutch.
