Not sure what that means,... but by tomorrow night I'll have done the research! :typing:

I know it's depending on what you're going to do with the truck that will pick the axles and drive train for you. Well I'm planing on swaping to a diesel engine with high torque and go big, with a higher than average. So I was thinking of a 73-79 F250 with a D44 front and D60 rear swap, but... There's a cheap 79 F150 Custom in a lemon lot real close I could buy for the swap, I believe it has a Ford 9" rear and a D44 front. There's a couple things I'm wondering: :???: :???: :???: Is the F150 Custom in the lot big enough for my needs~~?? What donor D60s are avalible for a front axle swap for my 92 MJ~~?? (or a good place to buy) What other parts of the drive train can I get from a single donor~~?? (my trucks 2WD atm) I would like to get D60s in front and rear, (Where's the best place to get that) I wouldn't need to be new, I will clean and paint them and rebuild them with upgrades, if needed. :brows:

No worries. My wife and I are both active military. We're currently in central Oklahoma away from our home town and family from west North Carolina. She is deploying this month and she won't be back until Jan 2011 :ack: :( I'll have plenty of time on my hands, so I will spend all my time building this truck. lol. 8)

The Sapulpa auctions are in OK, KS, and MO. You do not need to be a dealer for KS or OK. I am planning on registering to find an XJ for the drive line, etc fro my truck. I have seen one CRD Grand posted there, no idea how much it went for. https://www.sapulpapool.com/new/default.asp Isn't 9/91 September '91? If so, our trucks are birth brothers. YEAH~~!!! September, idk what I was thinking :eek: ... Yeah my truck looks just like yours same paint and everything, well when you bought it. Pretty awesome. You better get under that carpet soon cause that rust creeps up on you. I took mine out and it had puddled water under it!!! I escaped with only minor rust damage. But it's real hard to dry under there, and water comes in a million different ways.

MFR 9/91, I guess that means that it was built November of 1991. And Pete, I'm located in OKC. I'm making a trip to CO in Feb, which is cool. :chillin: Thanks for the info man

Also the stock battery cable have a 1/4 inch wide by a 1 1/2 inch long hex head bolt w/ hex nut. They won't sell them at most auto parts stores, but Lowes does, hehe. :popcorn:

TY all for the info!!! :D I completely understand what all I would be getting into, if I find a donor. And 25,000 :headpop: holy crap that's as much as I paid for my MK. I was hoping for a little less, although if I am going to do it, why not go all out. Thanks again, a complete swap was what I was expecting, I don't think that the 08 Grand Cherokee has a turbo PSI gauge, I tried to find out but I had little luck. :fs1: If anyone can link me a good pick of the cluster maybe I can see if it can be custom fabricated to fit the MJ interior. I'm going to make this MJ "nice", perfect interior and all. Might take years. :chillin: About the build date on my MJ i'll have to check it tomorrow, the water pump went out on it this morning and leaked 1/2 of my coolant by 7am before I knew it. I'm paying someone to do it for me, my Wife isn't gone yet so I'm spending my time with her or I would love to do it myself. So the MJ's not outside or I would check. I'm curious on why you want to know. :dunno: Thanks again for the infor, looking forward to more, lol :yes:

Is all the work I'm going to experience going to be just learn as I go? It's going to be a project, with a lot of new stuff. What about things I'll need to be looking into buying now, like fuel lines or possibly a new cluster. I'm wondering if I could put in a turbo psi gauge.

Yes~!! :fs1: Sorry about my slang, I meant the 08 "Grand Cherokee"

Hi my name's Casey, I have 13 months to be without wife and away from all family; I have a newly owned 1992 MJ, 2WD, 4.0L 6 cylinder. I bought it here in OK with hardly any rust even under the carpets (which is in the dumpster now). I am going to make it a project, hopfully a big one. Since I have the time and the money I was really considering finding a CRD 3.0L in the 08 Cherokee as a swap for my engine. I hope to make a nice 4x4 off road machine. I am inexperienced but I believe I can do it, and I am a hard worker. Please help me with all the advice and information I might need to know for this swap. I'll start a buiild page soon. :cheers:

1. Lube the break release also, for it will break on you :oops: 2. Have the main windshield professionally sealed, water will leak on the inside into the floor boards and you will NEVER KNOW IT!!! 3. Have a long talk with your wife on what you're getting into, bring chocolates ;) 4. If you do your valve cover gasket when you first buy one, clean and paint it(it's an easy custom job that makes your MJ stand out) lol. 5. If your MJ has set for awhile check how clean the gas tank is, mine had junk in it that eventually ruind the fuel pump/line/system.
