A cutting torch and burn it out.

I just checked a source of information. They do run on kerosene. I didn't know that. Now that I learned something new today, I can go back to bed.

Bring a truck, trailer, cash. We'll work something out.

What constitutes proof of ownership? An old registration slip? A signed note from mommy? The local reverend vouching for you? A bill of sale? If all it takes is a bill of sale, let me send you a bill of sale, notarized, and you go down and get me a title. I will reimburse you any and all expenses plus a couple bucks.

No junk yard, auto salvage yard or P&P will accept a vehicle without a title in Colorado. Been there. Tried that. If the vehicle is dismantled enough then the crusher will take it without a title. Agree 100%

White gas. But I have ran them on regular gas and alcohol. Don't think kerosene will work.

PM received. Just for the curious in the room, A Primus back pack stove model 97. Made in 1925.

Want a new Jeep pick up? Make your own. Because that's the only way it will ever happen. . :MJ 1: .

Take an old Ford rear axle. Unbolt the outer housing, cut the outer end off. VOILA!! A very nice strong, durable, steady, cheap and plentiful jack stand.

When you get it dug up, look in the glove box. Registration slip should tell you the year and make. :yes:

So who stops for a red light any more any way? :yes:

From what little can be seen looks like a pre '30's Ford. Shape of rim and differential. Being buried like that it's probably to far gone to try and salvage anything. Clean it up, paint it and mount it in the front yard for a conversation piece. Or a zoning violation.

Torsion tube receiver V5. Weight distribution receiver hitch. Has a welded cross tube like yours. The mounting end pieces bolt on same as yours. The mounts have the OEM style mount, that is the vertical and horizontal pieces are welded together with two holes in the bottom and three in the vertical piece. Kind of looks like they made the cross piece a universal part and custom made the mounts for different applications.

Been deleting pics out of PB and came across these. Think there's better ones around but just thought I'd post them anyway. U Haul receiver hitch.

Read in the paper this morn where a couple guys beat another guy to death with a baseball bat. Went thru the constitution 3 times and nowhere could I find any guarantee of our right to own a baseball bat. Does this mean the end of baseball? Bet that poor b*stard was wishing he had a carry permit about then.

I hear you got $20 riding on Texas A&M. :rotf:

I just checked my parts pile. Seems I have a good AW4and a 231 removed from a '98XJ a couple months ago. Guess I'll be starting this tomorrow morn.

This is not my write up. I copied it from Jeep Forum. Okay, so you want to install an Aisin-Warner AW4 transmission into your OBDII ZJ, but have no idea about how to do it? The following is my writeup of the part list including the part numbers where needed as well as step by step installation steps. (Part numbers from dealership surrounded by asterisk's) Parts list: 1X AW4 (Must be a 23 spline, found in 91 and up XJ's behind the 4.0, as well as select ZJ's in early 93) 1X Torque converter from an aw4 1X Flex plate from an aw4 1X Dustshield from an aw4 *53005907 AND 53004908* 1X TCM from same year XJ 3X connectors for TCM (there are two - one gray and one black - that connect to the body of the transmission and one that connects to the TCM) 4X Torque converter bolts (flex plate bolts are the same for both setups) *34202497* 1X AW4 shifter cable bracket *53007746* 1X AW4 Shifter cable *5207 8452* 1X AW4 Shifter bezel *55033646 1X Aw4 floor shifter for a 93 ZJ with the AW4 *53007749* 1X Tcase shifter bracket on the Transmission body *52077509* (I ended up not using this, I went with a Novak shifter kit for the 231 instead. 1X Cross member from a 93-95 ZJ (be sure to get the bolt that holds the mount onto it) 1X Cross member trans mount *52018857* (I bought from Advanced Auto PN - 621049) 1X Crank Position sensor (This one is tricky, you need to buy one out of an XJ, but you need to buy one out of the same year vehichle that you have. I have a 96, so I bought one from a 96 XJ with an Advance Auto part number of AL2017. This is due to the connectors, for some reason they changed them from year to year, but kept them the same across the board for the ZJ and XJ at least in 1996) Assorted fittings for the cooler lines - I used the stock lines that came with the AW4 and spliced in soft lines I installed an auxillary cooler in line after the stock cooler on the radiator - This isn't necessary but heat is the easiest way to kill a transmission Driveshafts - I am using a driveshaft that is off a zj with the 42re and the 242. I tried to use a front driveshaft of a zj with the 42re and the 242, and it was too long; even after compressing it all the way, it couldn't even fit between the yokes. Another edit - The front driveshaft from an XJ with the aw4 and 4.0 WILL NOT fit, it only allows less than half an inch of travel, which isn't near enough. Parts to reuse from your 42RE: Flex plate bolts and spacer Starter Some bellhousing bolts, but you're going to have to buy some shorter bolts or get the ones off the aw4 equipped vehicle. Crossmember bolts to "frame" rails Procedure: Removing the 42re -This is a pretty straight forward process, so I'm not going to go into detail. I had no idea what I was doing and I still was able to do it really easily. A couple basic steps though, drop the back end of the transmission then remove all the connections off the transmission. Then unbolt the bellhousing including the starter and all of the bolts holding on the dust shield. You should be able to then rotate the flex plate to remove the 4 torque converter bolts. If everything is out, you should be able to rock the transmission off the back of the block, but be careful it falls off a jack easily. Installing the aw4 -Everything should be out of the way and ready to install now. This image has been resized. Click this bar to view the full image. -Place the top portion of the dust shield on the back of the block. It aligns itself on pegs on either side of the block. Then install the flexplate and torque to spec. You're going to have to spin the flex plate around to line it up correctly because the bolt holes aren't concentric on the crank. Don't forget to install the spacer on the transmission side of the flex plate. This image has been resized.

Be sure to rotate it at least 90 degrees off vertical in both directions while pushing aftward. This is to ensure that the converter seats on both sets of splines on the input shaft. -At this point, you're really ready to put the transmission onto the back of the block. Get it under the jeep and jack it up high enough, then using the aforementioned pegs on the back of the block, line up the transmission and bolt it on. Be careful with this step. You shouldn't force it to mate up with the back of the block. If it is done correctly, it will easily go in. One tip about the torque converter bolts - install one but don't tighten it much. Then rotate the flex plate enough to get the opposite bolt in, then just work your way around to all the bolts, tightening them in increments. I tightened the first bolt too much and I couldn't spin the flex plate at all because the input shaft was at an awkward angle I guess. (SIDE NOTE - You can see where the bracket for the shifter cable goes in the following picture, it is just to the left of the center of the picture where there are two shiny spots with bolts in the middle of them on the backside of the bellhousing) This image has been resized. Click this bar to view the full image. -Bolt the lower portion of the dust shield onto the bellhousing. Take care of little things at this point such as reinstall the starter onto the tranny. Also run the lines. I cut the stock lines for the AW4 and then used a flaring tool in order to run soft line. I used fuel pressure line. -Using the pre-95 crossmember and the 93 ZJ mount, mount the rear of the transmission. Reinstall the Tcase. This image has been resized.

For the floor shifter, you have to use the one that shifts the aw4 because the gears are in different positions versus the 42re. You also have to use the aw4 shifter cable that goes between the gear selector and the gear selector on the body of the transmission. It may not make sense as to why you have to do this, but it's because the cable that actually moves within the shielding is a slightly different length. This picture shows the interior completely torn apart. This was because in order to install the 4wd linkages (I did this transmission swap to convert my ZJ into 4wd) I had to replace the pan that the gear selectors bolt to in order to mount the 231 handle. You won't have to remove the carpet to just replace the shifter and it's cable, but it would make it easier for the cable portion. I replaced the cable after I had already put the carpet back, so I ended up just cutting the carpet right along the shifter cable (~4" of carpet) and it made it very easy to R&R the cable. To remove the shifter handle you have to just pull really hard on it, but be careful when doing so (look at the last picture in the next set). This image has been resized.

Could not get it to copy and paste but I found a great write up on the 42RE to AW4 swap on Steve Olson's Jeep site. Pretty well covers everything. http://www.stu-offroad.com/engine/aw-4b/aw-4b-2.htm

C'mon fellas. Give me a break. And the one on the left is kinda cute. Not sure if I've got enough flour to roll her in tho. :yes:

As long as I've had the truck I just noticed something yesterday. I have a '86MJ long bed with a Husky receiver hitch on it. The mounts are just like the original MJ hitches. Side plate with 3 holes and bottom plate with 2.

I've got a '93 XJ with a bad 4.0 and a good AW4. If I understand you correctly I have everything there that I need for the swap? And as long as we're on the subject, kind of. What's the difference between a 42RE from a '97ZJ and a 42RLE from a '03 Wrangler?

Just a run down to show what the little guy can do,WHEN HE WANTS TO. The Senator group received over 1.2 million dollars in donations, $500,000 of that from two billionaire donors. The recall received less than $70,000 in donations. The In Crowd had an entire staff being paid salaries. There was not one paid nobody on the recall crowd. 100% all volunteers. The In Crowd had several advisers from Chicago and Wash DC. The recall group was 100% local. Not one outsider. Just for your information.

Tnx Eagle. Game has changed. Just found a 42RLE from a 2004 Wrangler. Will IT fit? This is a really nice '97 Grand Cher. I would really like to get it running .

$25 for the bumper. The other $375 is storage charges.
